    The problem with things like mega and dropbox is not just the uploading but the downloading. 8 gig of data is very likely to be hit by some sort of corruption or a network dropout just based on the time it will take.

    Torrents are designed to solve these problems and even if a piece is corrupted near the beginning the torrent can repair the finished file and is free to pause/resume whenever. Also running it off your own server (just the tracker) it costs you nothing because the data is going from computer to computer.

    • have you tried dropbox?spot13
    • Yes, it doesn't handle huge single files wellanimatedgif
