Have the same problem with PBS and NFS. Have to turn off the PBS container, delete the .lock file in the NFS directory, then boot up PBS. Thinking I'm just going to use a local directory instead of NFS

The hackaday feed is pretty interesting if you're into that space

That should work for media files at least, but I believe they'll also need Plex pass to be able to download anything.

Absolutely, that is definitely preferred when possible!

On occasion I find myself needing to send a file at least a few gigabytes in size to a friend across our slow ISPs but haven't found a satisfying solution. I usually end up creating a private torrent with the announce address of my own IP. Even though it's slow - it basically never reaches my max upload speed for some reason, it is at least resilient if there are ever any network glitches.

Does anyone else face this same challenge?

EDIT: Thank you for the awesome suggestions! I have some homework to do on these
