I've been using Syncthing extensively for years and never observed this behavior - it always either completes the transfer or fails to complete the transfer (which is obvious in the UI). A silent failure is certainly not typical.

This sounds like a pretty severe bug, so if you still have the systems you were able to produce the behavior on it might be helpful to reproduce it and submit an issue.

Yeah, I gave up an Syncthing when using it between my Android device and Linux server. Too many hours were lost trying to debug why the server no longer showed as connected on the phone. At some point I went back to emailing myself files, because that actually worked, and I realized that I didn't actually need an entire program with a synchronization algorithm to send a few large files on the occasion.
