Hello,

I'm trying to send something to my gf's friend (~50gb)

I tried creating my own torrent and was able to dl it on another device, but on her machine it stayed at 0% and wouldn't let me connect to seed

Is FTP a good option? I set up a proxmox server last night but I don't really know what I'm doing yet

Any guidance greatly appreciated, thanks.

So how is it different to Wormhole?

I've never heard of Wormhole before now but by the looks of things:

croc is open source
croc does not store files on the server at all, ever -- it waits for both ends of the connection to be open to start the transfer
croc cannot do true P2P -- the sender uploads to the croc server which then streams it in realtime to the receiver
croc does not work in the browser :(

for a true browser based p2p solution that uses WebRTC I'd suggest www.sharedrop.io
