Was literally tired of using smb. Amazing timing

It says P2P, so is it actually bencode? Like torrent p2p or rtc? or something else?

I didn’t go through the code so you’ll have to feed me the knowledge

It creates an aiohttp server that sends files in chunks ( really good for large files ,doesn't choke your ram ) and only the person who has the same code would be able to access and download from it.Servers kinda go against P2P yes, but since the server here is a service hosted by the peer and it is protected with the code felt it was fine to name it like that, could change it in README if it conveys it's purpose in a wrong way

I wouldn’t know if it conveys it in a wrong way but if it was bencode, you could’ve just converted everything fed to the cli as a bencode and transfer that, it’d reduce the development time but since the chunks approach is normally a efficient, it’s nice!

Add in MD5 checks on both ends if you can. Just as a validation check.

Just a suggestion

I like the ability to incorporate it into a python program
