I'm sure the team will make it available soon, since BTSync will be one of the main reasons people buy (Synology) NAS. just like me
-
I noticed one suspicious thing. In the sync.dat file there is string fileguard40:<some hash>, where on the working computers is something looking like real hash, but on the non working computer there are all zeroes and 7 at end. This looks like the hash is not generated properly. Why?
well try to delete all config files and start from zero, check if it persists.
and report back
-
I think it means that the hash of the secret isn't matching with your peers. So maybe you set up another computer with incorrect secret?
no i don't thing so, because for the devices to find each other they need the same key
-
here is how to change the hostname, but i recommend to use a config file.
http://www.subvs.co....e_computer_name
./BTSync --config sync.conf
and put this in the sync.conf file:
{
"device_name": "Name your device",
"check_for_updates" : true,
"webui" :{
"listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888",
"login" : "username",
"password" : "password"
},
"shared_folders" :
[
]
}well if you dont want to use username and password just comment them with // at the beginning of the line
-
you have to change the hostname if you are not using a config file
-
yep i had same problem, but i added some commas here and there, just keep testing with more commas
-
if you don't have to specify the listening port just don't, unless its blocked or something.

Too be honest, what's ~ 100 bytes (That's around the size of a MD5 hash & Pointer, right? However, you might want to upgrade to something more 'unique' than md5, just considering how bad a duplicated hash could be) per 4MB? It means if I have a 1TB share I'll pack on an extra 25MB (I believe I got that right? 1TB/4MB*100Bytes), if I'm already sharing 1TB I believe I can share an extra 25MB to possibly save a hell of a lot more.
Well actually you wont be sharing the 25MB, they will need to be saved only locally for the local BTSync Client, to compare the hash that the remote BTSync client sends. and if any match is found, the client will just copy the 4MB or 1MB (depends) of the matched part instead of downloading it from other remote clients.
i did something like BTSync in python for my FYP.
But it was direct ip between 2 vps only since i have little knowledge with networks and dns and..... i couldnt get how to connect when there is no static ip.
-
i think this is called Delta Sync.
BTSync will have to keep database and tables of hash for parts of existing files
and compare the new hash of parts of new file to these tables.
-
where are you buying a VPS with 20gb of storage for only 12/year?
-
Oh OK thank you, i already did this.
But isn't it for LAN only ?
i have 5 servers and 2 laptops, different locations.
if i enable this does it enable TCP also between remote devices?
-
I beg to differ! I currently sync between 7 devices (including two always-on WHS's)
1) You can change the ports that BitTorrent Sync uses, as well as choose TCP over UPD - it would be difficult for an ISP to completely block BitTorrent Sync
2) You can separately limit the upload/download rates of BitTorrent Sync - so you can easily tailor BitTorrent Sync to your connection speed/available bandwidth
I may be wrong, but doesn't RSync only transfer a single file at a time? BitTorrent Sync can transfer multiple files concurrently!
Give BitTorrent Sync a go! You'll then be able to more accurately determine its capabilities/performance when compared with RSync!
hey
how do i force TCP all the time ?!
-
Pay for a VPS, you could find $12/Year with 20GB of storage Low End Box and use it as Cloud Storage. if you want more security and redundancy its less $/GB with Cloud Storage services like Dropbox.
-
OMG people!!!
Anyway, how much time before the deleted files are removed from ".SyncTrash" folder ?
i delete a lot of files after syncing them from my servers and these files are taking place on all my Servers.
-
does shutting down all tracker servers disables SyncApp from working ?
-
I think what we would need for mobile would be more like what Dropbox does. When You use the Dropbox App on your Mobile Device you get a list of files that are Available. Since Mobile Phones have limited Storage and Limited bandwidth I think it should be an on demand type access not sync all files. IE Sync has Files A, B, C, D, & E I need file C on my Mobile Device so I'll Just download File C.
but if you have syncapp on one Computer and its off, you cant get anything on demand i think it should be just like the desktop version but with extra options like:
1-Sync only on wifi.
2-Sync only when plugged.
3-Sync when on specific connections.
4-Option to only get files "Download" and do not give them "upload" to other devices.
-
- First Create a SyncApp folder on your PC or portable USB device
- Put the "SyncApp.exe" inside the folder you created
- Inside the same folder create a new empty "Text Document" file and rename it from "New Text document.txt" to "settings.dat"
- Start the SyncApp.exe
If you want to transfer you old settings, search for them in c:\.......\SyncApp and copy them to the same folder without creating the new Text Document and then start SyncApp.exe.

I like the Scheduled sync "Exactly like the time table in utorrent"
For cloud storage or cloud sync, i think soon after SyncApp launches, we will see a lot of websites providing you with a key that lets you sync your folder and files to their servers. -
put this in a file and name it sync.conf:
{
"check_for_updates" : true,
"webui" :{
//"listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888",
"login" : "Username",
"password" : "Password"
},
"shared_folders" :
[
]
}Start SyncApp with this command:
SyncApp --config sync.conf
