Uploading from the middle of nowhere
We are an international NGO and sometimes people need to upload relatively large video/image files from an emergency site where internet is intermittent and weak.
To date, we have been using either FTP or HTTP (to upload to a hosted image database), but both fail more often than they succeed, which exasperates staff.
I understand that the Bittorrent protocol breaks files into chunks and sends them bit by bit, and thus might be more resilient to intermittent connections. Is this the best thing for me to look into, or are there other solutions that would be more promising?
Anyone have any links that might help, please?

Apolgies for abandoning this question, the notification of new replies was going to the wrong email address. I'll look into what you have suggested.

I'm not sure if my ftp server supports the REST raw command. How could I tell?
(It's a SBS 03 sever and I've googled for terms like "sbs 03 rest ftp support"), but can't find anything to learn from.
