I found torrenting over even a local network was much slower than directly copying to a portable hard drive. Most likely you want to settle on a process that verifies the copied files. If your friend uses M$ you could take a simple path and use a program like Terracopy [1] to be sure and just copy them all to a portable hard drive. (I've used it since working on a Win 10 system (whatever version it was) where quicker file copy was achieved by stepping back to iirc win 95 era and not verifying files.) In linux there are many options - personally I tar folders up to 20 or 30 gigs using --verify (-W) ie tar -cvWf folder1 'folder1'/ ... in your case you would need to direct the write of tar to the portable drive.
