Favorite software for moving data hoards via the interweb?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/DataHoarder

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • syncthing-android

    Wrapper of syncthing for Android.

  • Syncthing has the same feature set as Bittorrent Sync did, but that's a pretty lousy choice when you want to move data one time in one direction (those applications are designed for continuous synchronization, often between all connected devices).

  • tubearchivist

    Your self hosted YouTube media server

  • The filestore option makes added files not duplicate space in the cache, which is the default. So, I was able to share my 700GB TubeArchivist hoard without worrying about using extra space.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • kubo

    An IPFS implementation in Go

  • It doesn't really "sync," but potentially a command could be scheduled to get a similar effect. Would probably want to key an eye on the cache of the clients and garbage collect occasionally. I run Linux on everything, so I can mount it to my filesystem, then copy or read them from there.

  • ipfs

    Peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol

  • I've mostly been using IPFS for that. The windows support isn't amazing and missing some features that I like if you're in windows. Not sure if it's any faster in comparison to bit torrent sync.
