About TeraShare
Terashare is a Belgian file-sharing utility that combines peer-to-peer (P2P) technology with traditional cloud storage. It specifically utilizes a hybrid BitTorrent-based protocol to facilitate direct transfers between users. For files smaller than 10 GB, the service mirrors the data to Terashare's servers, ensuring the file remains available even if the sender goes offline. For files exceeding 10 GB, Terashare acts as a pure P2P conduit. This allows for 'unlimited' file sizes as the data is streamed directly from the sender's hardware to the recipient, bypassing the need for a full upload to a third-party server first. The service is free and ad-supported, targeting users who need to send very large data sets or entire directories without the typical constraints of cloud storage quotas.
