[Synchronization when the computer is off.]

And do not forget to limit traffic. At work, I have no way to take files of 1 GB or more, but I can every day without any consequences to accept files of 50-100 MB

You can already limit upload/download rates within SyncApp. Setting & lowering these limits will mean that data is transferred at a slower rate.

[[Now Implemented!] Bandwidth/sync Scheduling]

...but a bandwidth limiter would also be an option...

This feature already exists in SyncApp! You can already specify separate download and upload speed limits! (granted, you can't "schedule" these limits at present to have different ones at different times of day, but if you're concerned about your bandwith, you can globally limit the amount that SyncApp will use)

[Feature Request: Master/slave directories]

Noik, according to BitTorrent they do "plan to add one way synchronization" which I think is essentially what you're after?

See Kos13's second post in this thread: http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/8654-syncapp-progress/

[Future pricing plan]

We know the Cubby story, as well as Mesh story. We see SyncApp as long term product, invest a lot of development resources, so we don't want to screw it by some "smart" decision.

But let me tell you one thing, that we know for sure. Beauty of real p2p solution, in opposed to marketed p2p solution (you name the company that claims they have p2p), is that we can't control it. If tomorrow we want to charge you $100 for 10Kb transferred, will stop everything related to the app or will try to force you not to use the SyncApp, we just physically can't achieve that.

SyncApp will work tomorrow exactly like it works today, no matter what we will do. And it will work exactly like today even 10 years from now, of course, if we will have computers in future

Kos, you, my friend, rock!!

[Pinned bug list]

In fairness, the BitTorrent team are developing SyncApp fast, and I understand there will be another update to SyncApp in the next 2-3 weeks!

I've found a number of minor issues with 1.0.75, which I've already emailed the SyncApp team about, rather than post detailed bug reports here - mainly because I've included screenshots, etc which I wouldn't wish to be public on these forums.

But in summary, and for reference, here are some of the current 1,0,75 issues that the SyncApp team are already aware of:

• Zero-Length files not being synced (Will be fixed in next version)
  
• "A new version of SyncApp is available" tray icon tooltip notifications when no update is available (Will be fixed "soon")
  
• "out of memory" issue when working with more than 100k files (Will be fixed in next version)
  
• "parallel sync" issues (i.e. seperatly syncing both a parent directory as well as a sub direcotory on one device, to a parent directory, and sub directory respectively on another device)
  
• "cross sync" issues (i.e. syncing a parent directory on one device to a sub directory on a second device, and also syncing that parent of the sub directory on the second device back to the sub directory of the parent directory on the first device)
  
• SyncApp dialog window too small/can be resized too small on some Windows devices

I personally hope that SyncApp remains free.

Obviously if they at some stage add some sort of cloud storage option onto SyncApp to allow you to still sync when devices are down, I'd expect their to be an associated cost which this, but for syncing directly across my own LAN, I would hope this functionality remains free and BitTorrent don't go down the same silly route that Cubby went down recently (http://help.cubby.com/forums/169907-general/suggestions/3465259-add-directsync-to-basic-version) which resulted in users leaving Cubby in their thousands in favor for AeroFS

Whilst a "cloud storage" service may be nice, I think many users simply wouldn't use this, either becuase they already use a different cloud storage solution (i.e SkyDrive), or they wouldn't trust BitTorrent with their data.

What's really interesting is if you take the example of Cubby (cubby.com). They initially offered a free "direct sync" feature in their sync software allowing you to sync peer-to-peer, along with a few GB's of free cloud storage so that you could sync between devices when they were off-line.

However, Cubby then made the crazy decision to start charging for peer-to-peer sync, but tried to "sweeten" the deal by including 100GB of cloud storage as part of the new price. There was a massive backlash from Cubby users (http://help.cubby.com/forums/169907-general/suggestions/3465259-add-directsync-to-basic-version) over this change, with many arguing that they simply didn't need 100GB of cloud storage, and shouldn't have to pay for that when all they want to be able to do is sync files between their own devices! ...the result being, users left Cubby in their droves!!

So, the lessons for BitTorrent to learn from this Cubby fiasco, are; "Are users really looking a new cloud storage solution, a peer-peer sync solution, or both?" ...Whilst it would of course be perfect to have both of these features in a single offering (like Mesh did!), BitTorrent need to be careful that the peer-peer sync side of things wouldn't suffer as a result of any venutre into cloud storage! (in a similar way that the Cubby service has suffered)

Given that there are many FREE cloud storage storage offerings currently available (SkyDrive, DropBox, GDrive, etc), I think BitTorrent could have a hard time competing with these in offering their own cloud storage. SyncApp currently fills a nice hole in the market, and I for one hope they take full advantage of that by developing an amazing peer-to-peer sync solution, and then worry about any potential cloud integration at a later date!

2. Left button double click on systray icon opens main sync folder, may be it should be marked in the list.

This would only be of use if you were syncing a single folder though, surely? If you're syncing multiple folders, there isn't a "main sync" folder!?

3. Refresh button for devices.

As SyncApp automatically detects changes and then syncs right away, a "Refresh" button would be redundant, unless of course the "Scheduled Sync" type feature you mentioned is implimented (which according to Kos' earlier post it's now on their waiting list) - then it would indeed be useful to have a way to force a manual sync at the click of a button.

4. Secret restore (not sure)

I'm curious to know what you mean by "secret restore"?!

5. Distributed storage, I think all of us could allocate some 100 - 1000000 Mb on our non critical PC`s.

Doesn't SyncApp already provide this? i.e. a way to keep your files stored and accessible across multiple devices?

6. Android app.

"Mobile support (iPhone, Android) will be the first thing we will target after SyncApp will be released in public" according to this thread: http://forum.bittorr...ns-for-android/

[Where can I get an invitation / download link?]

If you've not already, you can signup and join the waiting list at http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html

...but I understand there's currently a waiting time of around 6-9 weeks.

[SyncApp: 1.0.75]

A little bug in the Linux version. When selecting a directory with an ' (aphostrophe) in it, it fails to add it and share it. It breaks at the aphostrophe.

I can also replicate this in the Windows version too!
