Caption notes
The creator of copyparty uses interrupted uploads to explain why the file server splits files into chunks. In his account, each chunk has its own checksum. A chunk that fails its check can be sent again, and an interrupted upload can pick up with the remaining data. The browser interface also brings browsing, previews, and transfer status together. He closes by recalling that the project started with wanting to use his phone as a file server.
