@jdaviescoates yes, it's for sharing files when direct p2p does not work. At a high level, TURN is just providing a bi-directional pipe. It can be used for anything - audio, video, and data.

So file-pizza is actually using only the STUN part of our turn addon. Once STUN has figured a way to establish a connection the app is using webtorrents to transfer. For other apps which actually use TURN also, they will fallback to TURN relaying data through the server if there is no direct connection possible.

There should be a new version/features of FP according to the Github email traffic I received.

looks like its mostly a rewrite of the app with nextjs. Lets see if there will be a release at some point.

Yes, it looks like it's now branded as FilePizza v2 (see footer)

I'll leave this up for an hour if anyone wants to try it..

@robi saw this too late

@jdaviescoates no worries, the dev did some testing and found it needed more work. The various defaults in browsers don't help either.

It may be getting a TURN server to help.
