My friend in Italy just asked me how to “share” files over this TCP based protocol, what sites do you guys use and precautions they need to use like condoms with a bully’s mum.

Edit: I think everyone misunderstood what I was trying to say, I said “share” because I meant torrenting ;)

    Do you mean file sharing like torrents?

    Use a VPN like ProvonVPN

    Don’t need vpn in Italy. Just don’t fuck around iptvs for sports and don’t make a business out of torrenting

      Recently in Spain a small pub/bar owner had been streaming all important football matches through piracy to avoid paying 400€/mo for something only a handful of people would be seeing in such remote place.

      She was demanded, sent to court, and won. For piracy, southern Europe is crazy good.

      Max of 25gb and Max 24h/ 100 downloads. Else, send.vis.ee allows 5gb and lengthier time and number of downloads, I think it was 1 week as max. And last, there’s pcloud.com which is like Dropbox, so it requires registration, and gives you 10gib

    for torrenting, you only really need a VPN and a torrent client, as for precaution, I guess just bind qbittorrent with VPN. and for sites to find torrents, there’s plenty on the megathread or fmhy, tell him to use an adblocker like uBlock Origin

      The VPN is not that important here, no one cares about piracy in Italy unless you’re streaming football/soccer

    You could use

    python -m http.server
    

    This would create a server with the directory listing.

    Give him your IP address and he can download from it.
