Can’t you just scp it at that point?

Can’t you just scp it at that point?
- gpm 6y agoHypothesizing - that would be more prone to network failure, torrents are very robust against either peer temporarily losing an internet connection.
- toxik 6y agoThat’s actually a good point, and it’d be real easy to spread to a third person were it necessary
- Bnshsysjab 6y agoIirc SCP supports resuming transfers. Granted torrent architecture is very robust, but I’ve never had a problem with the way scp resumes work.
- xorcist 6y agoAlways use rsync. It's almost drop in compatible with scp, you could probably alias it for most uses, but it's more robust against failures and has more features.
- wccrawford 6y agoTo resume, someone would have to notice the failure and start it again. If this happens every few minutes, it's effectively impossible. Even once an hour means their overnight transfer is impossible with scp.
- hatsunearu 6y agoscp is terrible over links with low bandwidth and/or high ping.
