My torrent client is transmission. It has many ways to do what you ask.
First there’s a web ui which I can access from my pc or mobile. I can input the magnet link there and download.
Transmission also has an RPC client, and because of that many third party clients exist for it. Android apps, CLIs, etc. For all of which, i paste the magnet link and download.
EDIT: I believe Oracle cloud has something against P2P downloads, but I don’t remember what exactly.
I don’t quite understand the use case. Where are you trying to transfer from? PC? Smartphone (what kind?)? From devices you don’t control?
I use rsync to transfer from, PC, Android and other servers. It works well for my use case.
A unified fediverse search service would be awesome, and its something I may try to tackle in the future. Part of why I’m asking this question here!
If I’m in, let’s say, memes@lemmy.world, I’d like to also have my feed show content from memes@fedia.io, or lemm.ee, or whatever other threadiverse instances that my chosen instance is federating with.
When you say “feed” you mean your general news feed?
What if I only liked memes from memes@fedia.com, and other meme communities were too normie or boring for me? You’re going back to the issue with big tech social media, where they push on you what you didn’t sign up for, and you don’t necessarily like it!
I’m not against a recommendation engine, but it needs to be a lot more intentional from the user, and more transparent. I really dislike the “were just gonna push content you didn’t ask for here, but we think you’ll like it!”. No user choice, no transparency.
Btw, you should look into Quiblr. It’s a lemmy client that does sort of what you want. It has a built in recommendation engine, and it watches your engagement metrics to determine what you’ll like more of. The only thing it may not have is recommending you communities that aren’t visible to your instance (because no one on your instance follows it).
Yes, I was speaking about what would be ideal, and not what is possible today in the fediverse.
A search service could solve this issue.
For that use case, there’s two things you can do:
