Like when you send a .7z instead of a .zip or .rar to a friend or a teacher because that's what your computer has installed and they're like "Oh No, not one of those, now I have to install 7Zip" even though the same program that opens .rar also opens .7z I feel like people are way more annoyed when they receive a .7z
Just drive over to their house with a USB drive. Problem solved!
To transfer 1tb of data from London to Edinburgh at 100mbit/s it would take around 22 hours.
To put a 1tb SSD in a rucksack and get the train to Edinburgh drop it off and come back would take about 9 hours.
