Love the folks from n0. I regularly use their sendme cli for peer to peer file transfer!

Good to know. I usually use magic wormhole, which works great, but it does install a lot of python modules to achieve it. I'm always a little reluctant to install that on our production Windows SQL servers, and I rarely touch them, so usually when I do I just do a "netcat" equivalent via either a powershell snippet or https://github.com/linsomniac/toothpyk or I just "wget" it on the Windows side. For SQL Server ISOs, the Windows built in wget is terribly slow though.

Thanks for the sendme pointer.

You're welcome.

Great thing about it is it's a just a binary that you can fetch using curl anywhere, and then do ./sendme send <file/folder> and on the other machine type the command sendme tells you to in the terminal. The transfer is resumable as well, as long as the computer sending it doesn't stop the process.

Same here. They've built an amazing toolkit that's such a joy to build with. Feels like game changer to have p2p that both reliable, fast, and fun.
Yup! I'm thinking of ways in which I can use their iroh library to help with some of the workloads at work (https://neuracore.com, https://github.com/NeuracoreAI/neuracore)
