Webwormhole.io should work theoretically on file of any size because it does not keep the file being downloaded in memory/cache first. It downloads as a file as soon as it starts.

In practice, I have used syncthing to transfer many giga bytes data from one work computer to other because syncthing uses lot more discovery protocols etc to work around restrictions.

I can't report on percentage improvement, but after a long time localsend recently pushed out a version that claims to be much better (to be read as faster) for the transfer of large/many files.

For a long time the issue was blocked because of an upstream library, maybe LLMs finally unblocked the devs to push the fixes through.

Once I tried Airdrop between Macbooks it was very flaky. Haven't had any problems with localsend so far (Windows, Linux, Android).
