I don't quite understand the use case. Where are you trying to transfer from? PC? Smartphone (what kind?)? From devices you don't control?
I use rsync to transfer from, PC, Android and other servers. It works well for my use case.

I’m no Oracle Cloud expert but I’m wondering how Telegram fits into transferring files.
Is there a reason you’re not using traditional tools like ssh or rsync? You could even use Samba or FTP if you really wanted to (not recommended).
Just trying to understand the problem.
my internet is just not all that stable or fast. so day I wanna get there (my server) a big file, downloading it and then using ssh to upload it sounds like big trouble. if my connection suddenly shuts, or my computer goes in sleep mode.
So I'm thinking of ways to download directly to my server, without needing to send the files from my laptop.
If you’re thinking specifically of torrents, then a seedbox or torrents are probably more your speed. I forgot which community I was in for a second.
As far as large files go, I feel you. I have a NAS at home that I share with friends but my residential internet upload speed is slow. What I’ve ended up doing is opening a Storj account and mirroring the NAS to it. Not sure if this is relevant (at all).
Maybe someone else can comment here, but there’s got to be some dead simple web interface you could host where you copy/paste a URL and it downloads it… maybe just wget or curl from the host instance?

I use rsync to transfer files between my VPS and computer. Don't torrent on Oracle Cloud without a VPN, they will terminate your account.
thanks I'll take that into consideration!
I'll try giving rsync a try
For movies and shows to a VPS, I'd install a command-line IRC client (like weechat) and get stuff using XDCC.
I used to have a bot that uploaded stuff to Google drive and mega for plebs on Reddit to download, and that what the bot used to get the content in the first place.
Torrents do work, but be careful if you use any public trackers your IP can get a copyright notice and Oracle takes it seriously, your instance can get shut down.
For transferring files i find sshfs to be the fastest and simplest method.
thanks!
