what i want from a file transfer service
a fictional website called epictransfers.gay is open on a browser and a phone, a file called xbox.zip is being sent at a speed of 32MB/s, using ultra p2p encryption transfer. at the bottom of the page there is a share link.

what i don't want from a file transfer service
three browser windows with fictional file-transfer websites are open. the first one is slow, showing a speed of 0.94MB/s. the second one has an annoying ad for "best video converter app for mac os x" as well as a label that says "we're fowarding ur unencrypted file through our server LMAO". the third one has a dialog box that says "lmao sorry", "ur file is like over 4gb or something and we’re an open source project that was bought out by some random company so maybe to transfer this file try this instead: lemonwire.gov.uk"

4/4
no double-transfers
they work but take twice as long as they should
and often allow the “download” to start only once the “upload” is fully finished
the graphic shows lyra and bonbon transfering files through various means:
- google drive
- discord chat
- usb drive
one of the cooler things about roblox was seeing dev’s best attempts at recreating games in its engine. that then just turned into ripping off the newest indie hits, and now this. this is lame
