Why is it so hard to send large files?

Obviously I can just dump it on my server and people can download it from a browser but how are they gonna send me anything? I’m not gonna put an upload on my site, that’s a security nightmare waiting to happen. HTTP uploads have always been wonky, for me, anyway.

Torrents are very finnicky with 2-peer swarms.

Your first mistake is assuming NIMBYs are arguing in good faith. They will simply keep arguing the point, or find another one. They don’t even have to argue on a basis of truth, as long as they keep screeching loud enough for everyone to go “FINE, baby. Have it your way” because they don’t wanna deal with it anymore.

Do not appeal to or argue with NIMBYs, instead present your case to politicians and participate in your local politics.
