When I transfer a large file of 1.23gb, the browser crashes at about 60%

Duplicate of #231.

@for-the-zero, this is a common problem of Snapdrop. Since file data downloading is cached locally and downloaded after data transfer completed, browsers will block too large cache store: if you want to transfer very large files, for now, you should consider the use of another file transfer, like LANDrop, which is a native application and more reliable on very large transfer like your, since can store file chunks on a temp folder... Snapdrop can't because it's a WebApp...

Anyway, if you instead need snap (from the app name) file dropping (below about 1GB, for now) you can continue using Snapdrop, which is faster to "setup" and you don't need any app download.
