In the past I used other P2P sharing, the German O&O File Direct, very similar to this. Worked fine but sadly only freeware and only for Windows. This system is obviously the best way to share files, the only disadvantage is that the sender’s PC must be turned on and online, so that the recipient can download the file, but on the other hand it also gives full control over the downloads, which because of this they can be interrupted at any time, simply by going offline. Currently I use Wormhole
Wormhole is basically what the system from the video is, just a different UI. They may even be compatible with each other.
From what I see, wormhole is using the wormhole-crypto protocol, while RiftShare is using the magic-wormhole protocol.
Similar name, different protocol.
does magic wormhole have a web version yet?
No, it’s basically a CLI-based protocol, but I suppose someone might be able to build a web version by converting the source (Python) to WASM, which seems to be a work-in-progress.
Maybe, I think that most of the P2P sharings are working in a similar way. I use Wormhole, because it works not only as app, also online (online version is only slightly more limited in maximum file size, but 10Gb is more than enough), so I don’t need to install it and can use it right from the browser.
there is no limit to magic wormhole, mp3 is right riftshare is using the magic wormhole protocol just as is warp by gnome is to! You can also use terminal to send files although the videos content was catered to the general none it people
As a desktop app, Wormhole also don’t has a limit, it’s only limited if you use the online service. But I think that 10Gb is more than enough for the most use.
