(Updated the list based on comments. Only keeping p2p tools)

• https://github.com/holepunchto/pear
• https://keet.io/ (build on pear)
• And whatever else https://holepunch.to/ are working on

https://galene.org includes peer-to-peer file transfer. The web client is built-in, but there's also a command-line tool at https://github.com/jech/galene-file-transfer

What about LAN chat and file transfer tools like Feem (https://feem.io) ?

Feem also works with your remote devices when paired with Tailscale.

You can add my personal version: https://filepush.kevincox.ca/

It is direct peer-to-peer using WebRTC. It is different from the others as it is optimizes repeated sharing between your own devices. So you pair the devices once, then you can share with a single click.

It is open source: https://gitlab.com/kevincox/filepush

• todo: Update list from this HN thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43342361 and new comments here

p2pcp https://github.com/gdlol/p2pcp, a fork of pcp with hole punching, a different security model, and various minor improvements.

Can any of these tools resume partial transfers? I'm trying to transfer large files over a not-100%-reliable network, and none of the ones I've tried so far could resume a failed connection. Some couldn't even detect that the transfer failed.

@pdewacht Hypercore and company offer a sparse mode.

@mixlette your comments seems like spam (or LLM generated). The thing you linked doesnt have anything to do with p2p file sharing.

@SMUsamaShah Hypercore (you might remember it for its dat or Beaker) days changed branding making it hard to keep up. For instance https://keet.io/ is another one of its incarnation. It's all p2p precursor from the ground up. English isn't my first language, but neither is binary :-)

@mixlette Apologies. I looked at Hypercore and the first thing it said was being about logging and nothing about file sharing over p2p.
