   I’m going to be in a spot with slow, unreliable internet. I’d like a way to download big-ish files without going insane.

   Basically I’d like to be able to stage files someplace with a good connection (maybe a DigitalOcean VM) then trickle-sync them to a local Pi.

   What would you use to do this? The first options that come to mind are #IPFS or just running rsync in an endless loop.

   How would you do it?

   (If you’re willing to boost for reach, I’d appreciate it.)
