An open-source file-transfer CLI and GUI for Linux, macOS, and Windows, built around block-order I/O, xxHash deduplication, SSH tar streaming, sparse-file awareness, and reflink-based copying.

Why it surfaced

blitcp makes a specific technical promise and explains its machinery unusually well: it sorts reads by physical disk offset, diverts duplicate blocks onto a reflink path, and streams remote transfers over SSH without installing anything on the far side. The homepage also publishes platform benchmarks, compatibility details, and a substantial v4.0.0 changelog rather than asking readers to take “full speed” on faith.

A File Musicians Can Argue With

August 7’s newborn domains include editable orchestral scores with up to 33 staves, 15 years of Valencia council interventions, a dementia-friendly frame with one optional button, and a memorial golf tournament whose winner wears the Meatball Jacket.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-07 Domain Arrivals issue.
