Any good OS comes with ssh right? scp or sshfs will move those files for you.

rfc 1149 aka IPoAC is generally considered to be the fastest file sharing protocol
I enter the data byte-by-byte using 8 switches and a push button

scp, it comes with putty for winblows
fast, secure, fool proof command line

The script kiddies DDOSing your data stream can be a real pain though.
IPFS

It depends. For transferring files between my own computers, scp/sftp. For sharing a files with someone on the same LAN, a temporary webserver (using woof). For anything requiring persistance, e.g. posting a link on a public forum, IPFS (ideally; in case this is not an option, I copy it to my server and serve it over HTTP).
Torrent.
- simple
- secure
- peer to peer
