If having someone intall transmission (or your favorite torrent client) is not a hurdle, I like the privtracker approach a lot : https://privtracker.com/

The reason I like it more is that most torrent clients can run in the background by default so it's not dependant on keeping a browser tab opened

It made it to the frontpage not so long ago but it'd be a pity if you had missed it

FWIW I tried this the other week and it did not ‘just work’.

It just did nothing.

Then I remembered I have Syncthing running on the machines I was trying to transfer between, so I used that.
