What’s your favorite internet/networking/communications protocol clients, Jow Forums? I’m trying to build out my knowledge of client side programs I’m familiar with/use, and get good with them before I play around hosting what I can on my home server. Prefer open source but will look at proprietary.
I don't use a majority of them. >IRC weechat >Email Web or outlook if I'm on Windows >VPN openvpn >BitTorrent qBittorent >Browser Firefox, Qutebrowser, Falkon

yes asking people for their input is so cringe.
regarding the file sharing protocols, most of those networks are nowhere near what torrent websites have, so i think theyre interesting as a protocol and piece of software, but ultimately left behind after BitTorrent.
Transmission is the best torrent client.
Jose Moore
putty, tightvnc, kazaa, and transmission are all you need

I just see it under Projects > Jitsi Desktop (Legacy) jitsi.org/ Though nightly was last updated in 2018, so maybe it isn't as far out of date as I thought. I don't know if anyone tried forking it.
