BitTorrent is the best for sending large files. I wish there existed a tool to make torrent creation easier, and I also wish my computer could seed. Every time I create a torrent, nobody can discover my server, even though the port is open and even if I add the server IP as a peer directly onto the client.

I have no trouble seeding in swarms, only when I create torrents. Other than that, BT is ideal.

Maybe you're only able to make outbound connections and not able to accept incoming connections? Try port scanning your PC from the internet

No, connecting externally is fine, that's what's so weird about it.
