🔧 other changes

  • fast again! ed6a8d5
    • replaced the connection:close band-aid added in v1.20.4 with a proper fix that doesn't make things slower behind reverseproxies
    • I've tried everything I can think of (with nginx as reverseproxy) and can't notice any difference in behavior, but please let me know if this breaks anything for you 🙏
  • #1245 updated Portuguese translation (thx @000yesnt!) 69fa1d1
  • #1259 OpenRC: add command to test config (thx @lotsospaghetti!) 79273a7
  • #1257 removed the nth global-option because it was never implemented (thx @stackxp!) 22cdc0f
  • syntax highlighter: added languages nasm + nix, removed autohotkey + cmake b20d325

🌠 fun facts

  • http/1.1 still tends to be faster than http/2 and http/3 for large transfers which is the main reason copyparty hasn't made the change
    • eh, not really a fun fact I suppose ┐( ´ w `)┌

💾 what to download?

download link is it good? description
copyparty-sfx.py ✅ the best 👍 runs anywhere! only needs python
copyparty-en.py ✅ also good same but english-only, no i18n
a docker image it's ok good if you prefer docker 🐋
copyparty.exe ⚠️ acceptable for win8 or later; built-in thumbnailer
u2c.exe ⚠️ acceptable CLI uploader as a win7+ exe (video)
copyparty.pyz ⚠️ acceptable similar to the regular sfx, mostly worse
copyparty-en.pyz ⚠️ acceptable english-only, no smb-server
copyparty32.exe ⛔️ dangerous for win7 -- never expose to the internet!
cpp-winpe64.exe ⛔️ dangerous runs on 64bit WinPE, otherwise useless
bootable usb ┐(゚∀゚)┌ a surprisingly useful joke (x86_64)
  • except for u2c.exe, all of the options above are mostly equivalent
  • the zip and tar.gz files below are just source code
  • python packages are available at PyPI
