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.

Easiest and most secure way? Mail (or hand deliver) a flash drive. That's how they transfer data between super computers and data centers. (AWS even has dedicated trucks to do it)

Now I wonder how much bandwith do post offices have theoretically

Randall did the math on this one: https://what-if.xkcd.com/31/

He assumes 64 GB microsd cards, if you use 1 TB ones, you could send 16 times more.
