Ask HN: Fastest way to tranfer large files?

Re:Ask HN: Fastest way to tranfer large files? by shpx on Friday April 19, 2019 @12:36AM (#19697140)

    rsync -P -e ssh <username>@<hostname>:/file/you/want/to/copy.txt ~/wherever/you/want/to/put/it

"-P" is to report progress and to not delete files that haven't been transferred completely (in case the connection drops out) and "-e ssh" is to transfer files over SSH.

rsync is extremely slow in my experience, and from client to server a great tool, complex to go from client to client machine.

Yes, I second that. I usually need to download not so big (~1 GB) files from server. I am also looking for a faster way.
