Possibly not what you have in mind, but Flying Carpet is awesome for moving stuff between devices regardless of type and OS.

I'm looking for different P2P networks to share my papers and essays. It is mostly postscript, pdf, and txt files. Since a lot has changed in the p2p landscape I figured I should ask around before downloading and testing a hundred apps that don't work.

And ok, I'm interested in this too and building an app related to that for Autonomi which is still in testing so not ready for you yet. When it is, next year?, it might be just what you want.

Right now my goal is an rclone backend to deliver versioned backup. Earlier though I demo'd versioned websites and I'm figuring out how to incorporate both, and other features into a cross platform app. File sharing is obviously part of the potential here.

One thought I have: filesharing using rsync. Just scriptomatically create rsync commands to pull the chosen files in a list. Use rsync with hashing to prevent pulling duplicate data. With a little veneer and an interface, it would actually be quite handy. Then users can connect to any public repository and pull the files they want to read with a few mouse clicks, instead of meandering back and forth inside a web browser.

@lamp

There's a CLI which can download using a hash so that you could do that 'out of the box'.

1. Yes

2. I use Transmission: https://transmissionbt.com/.

3. I haven't thought much about it ever since I started using it, probably because the application never gets in the way or fails. It simply does its job.

4. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a relatively lightweight application.
