• Auto Discovery: Automatically discovers other users on the network running the application.
• Multi-File & Folder Transfer: Send multiple files or entire folders in a single batch.
• Real-time Monitoring: Track active transfers with progress bars, speed indicators, and estimated time of arrival (ETA).
• Transfer History: Keep a log of all your past transfers for easy reference.
• Customizable Settings: Configure your display name, default save locations, and network parameters.
• Cross-Platform: Built with standard Python libraries, making it compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Multi-threaded: Handles multiple transfers simultaneously without freezing the UI.
