AltSendme – Open-source p2p file transfer tool based on Iroh

Hacker News

Hi HN! I believe people here are somewhat familiar with Iroh - the p2p networking library. It does Hole-punching and make use of QUIC connections between endpoints to enable peer-to-peer connectivity https://www.iroh.computer https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44379173 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4572755 Easiest way to make use of Iroh is through their in-house file transfer CLI tool called sendme https://www.iroh.computer/sendme Sendme uses iroh to establish direct links between devices for data transfer, and iroh-blobs to send and verify your files Features: - Free, for files & folders of any size - No account requirement - No server component - Fast - can saturate a 4Gbps connection. - Resumable fetching - Interrupted downloads pick up where they left off. - Integrity checks - Data is automatically verified for correctness on both send and receive. What I have built is something that complements sendme, Started with their CLI tool fork, made it into a Tauri desktop application with very simple but modern UI (yes, I have read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45760878 , coincidence I guess) Altsendme has almost all the features that sendme offers plus it is interoperable with sendme CLI tool. Thank you.
