  1. Just got my invite, syncing both my Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus,

    i tried to sync system folder but i was denied access, hopefully next release will request root permission.

    Amazing

    UPDATE: The latest version of BTSync Android supports both selective and full sync, but still cant access any parent of sdcard folder on my devices.

  2. Good catch! No, I did not use Word, but I did copy the syntax directly from the PDF. Unfortunately I did not notice the curly quotes in the original, and furthermore assumed that when I pasted it into the terminal that the double-quotes I was seeing were the right ones (they certainly looked right).

    Fixing the quotes did the trick. Thanks everyone. :)

    yes if you copy from the pdf you get this, but if you past the config to a json editor you can spot the difference immediately.

  3. Hi,

    I recently updated my application from 1.0.75 to the latest 1.0.134 (love the new logo much better, haha). Anyways, I now notice that some of my folders contain a ".SyncTrash" folder, some of which are quite large.

    Is it okay to delete this folder?

    If it helps, before I was syncing individual folders within "My Documents". Now, I sync all of "My Documents."

    They are large because they hold all files that are deleted on other clients.

    just to let you know

  4. Definitely, lock and unlock works for me with folder UUIDs-- if you get in when it is unlocked, then the "owner" can see and accept your entrance, then store your UUID to allow you to connect again at any time in the future when the setup is otherwise locked from new users.

    nice idea. another layer of security.

  5. So I finally got Sync up and running between my windows 7 x64 box and my raspberry pi running raspbmc. This system is slick, thanks for all the hard work you guys are doing here!

    Here is my problem:

    My pi is currently syncing about 280gb but it's only downloading at 1.5 mB/s which coincides with my internet bandwidth. I also ran a speedtest and saw the transfer speed stall (drop below 100 kB/s) for the few seconds I was running the test. This leads me to believe that I am transferring data outside of LAN and my pipe is the limiting factor. How can I force the Pi to take directly from the windows box?

    The windows 7 box is connected via wifi and the pi is wired, if that makes a difference.

    How fast can your wifi speed go both on router and pc ?

  6. What? I'm still confused why anyone would buy a nas that holds two hard-drives, has a terrible CPU, about 1GB of ram and costs $700.

    For pretty much the same cost you can get a pretty decent computer holding >= 10 slots, probably more if you shop around and wait for items to go on sale before buying.

    I'm not installing them at my place, they are for a friend who has no experience with NAS and still wants to manage them (as he says) so i don't want to keep on going back and forth each time he wants to do something, he can just call support or read an easy manual instead. and money is not an issue, not for me nor for my friend but he wants something that doesn't take too much space and wires.

    as i told you when i sent you a PM and asked for what is your hardware, I'm Getting something like what you have, and setting it up my self.

  7. well if you have a system that you follow for creating keys, you can always do it again without needing to copy it from another location....

    like me i always use the name of the folder as the base of all hashes that i get my keys from, but if someone else has the same system they could easily generate the same key from knowing the folder's name.

    so its better to just generate a very long key

    on an unrelated topic, i hope there could be an option to use username and password to store all keys associated with an account, and possibility to just login and choose what keys to sync or not.

  8. Um, no; you'd actually be downloading one Usenet group (say alt.sex.perv.perv.perv) and it can be as specific or limited as you like.

    Actually, you can't stop it; BTSync is a pretty small and simple application (much like bittorrent) even now it wouldn't be difficult to make a version without the limits (including the open source one) But you don't actually have to do this to use 'simple' passwords.

    The secret that BTSync will accept is a 160bit string in base32 so 'all' you have to do it take the secret you want, put it into a sha1 encoder http://www.webtoolki...avascript-sha-1 if the output is "hex" convert it to base32 http://tomeko.net/on...e32.php?lang=en to give the result ...

    Enjoy your Cat Pictures. <_<

    haha im doing the same, i hash the folder name but the end key is a combination of different keys.

  9. Anyone tested the:

    My Book Live Duo WDBVHT0080JCH

    I'm getting 16TB storage NAS and was wondering if instead of getting the "Synology DS412+", since I'm not gonna be using DSM's features, and since I'm gonna use RAID1.

    I could get 2 My Book Live Duo WDBVHT0080JCH and instead of RAID1 i could just use the full 8TB as storage and place each NAS at different location and sync them with BTSync.

  10. That post is probably one of the best posts I've seen in all my years, the level of detail and the amount of examples used is just top notch. The explaining as well, it's just purely and simply top notch.

    Personally, if I were you, I would sign up to some sort of writing competition, you're blow all the other contestants out of the water. If I only I were 1/100th of the writer you were I'd still be 1,000 times what I am now.

    You are an amazing judge.

  11. This too, although, I paid ~ $1,300*2 (two servers, two different geographical locations) for ~ 15TB/location for life (And expandable for ~ $50/TB at current prices). So, technically (Excluding power, which, I'm not too sure what I pay for the server on its own) I paid $1,300 for 15TB for life, rather than $1/GB/Year.

    Although, getting 15TB off dropbox for a single year would be 15*1024*$1=$15,360, so, even in a single year I'm pulling way above even on dropbox prices (Although, I'm sure they'd give me some kind of discount if I bought 15TB).

    Hey

    Where did you get that Storage for life?

  12. oh crap its the "" just delete them and write them again. dont copy past


    {
    "device_name": "VPS",
    "check_for_updates" : true,
    "disk_low_priority" : false,
    "lan_encrypt_data" : true,
    "lan_use_tcp" : true,
    "rate_limit_local_peers": false,
    "webui" :{
    "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888",
    "login" : "INI",
    "password" : "***"
    },
    "shared_folders" :
    [
    ]
    }

    its working now

  13. This advice hurts, I really don't recommend "testing with more commas", if you don't understand basic JSON formatting, read up on it. The answer isn't in the comma, it's in the formatting:-

    http://www.json.org/

    well actually this is the most perfect formatting i could come up with.

    but still doesnt work.

    do you know what is wrong ?

  14. Hi,

    I have two machines each with a collection of about 124GB of media. They were previously in sync using “rsync”. One machine (let’s call it the backup) was about a week out of date relative to the other machine (let’s call it the master).

    I set up Bittorrent Sync on the master, and let it completely index (this took a really long time). Then I used a one-time read-only key to set up the backup. Almost immediately I received a notification on the master that a file upload was completed. Checking history on the master, I saw:

    4/25/13 2:39PM Finished syncing file 2013/2013-04/2013-04-21/JV20130421_24375_DSC_0447.xmp added by backup

    4/25/13 2:39PM backup added file 2013/2013-04/2013-04-21/JV20130421_24375_DSC_0447.xmp

    Sure enough, the master now had a week out-of-date version of this file! I stopped the sync immediately.

    I double-checked the backup to ensure that it was read-only. In the “Advanced” tab for the folder on backup, it reads “Advanced Preferences are not available with read only secret”.

    This seems like a pretty serious flaw. How can I debug where things went wrong?

    i hope your file wasn't deleted permanently, I'm gonna try it out.

    and make sure time is correct on both.
