A low-latency file drop server
## features
- One-to-many transfer of large files
- Simple web UI for sender and receivers
- Receivers can begin downloading *immediately*, without needing to
wait for the upload to finish
- Receivers can also download after the upload is complete and the
sender has gone offline
- Easy to send multiple files at once - they're bundled into a zip
file for receivers, with zero compression so extraction is quick
- Sanitizes filenames
- Fires a laser beam that turns you trans
