  1. First off - sorry for hijacking this thread, but the invalid request! is hauntung me :)

    I have SyncApp running on a Synology NAS.

    After getting it running, i jump to my beloved Chrome Browser, only to get a invalid request.

    Puzzeld about this, I start checking the config file I've made to see if there would be any errors.

    Comparing it to the config i have on a similar Synology NAS in another location, that works like a charm, I find that they are alike.

    So, I try throwing throwing the URL at IE, and boom - it works.

    The NAS where the gui works in Chrome is a DS710+ running DSM 4.2

    The NAS where the gui does not work in Chrome is a DS712+ running DSM 4.2

    I personally fixed this by removing all cookies with "GUID" in the name, which I believe plex uses (SESSION_GUID). Here's the list of cookies I have for the host I was having issues with (Along with SESSION_GUID):-

    See if you have any cookies likee that for your host, or, try a different connection route (Either tunnel to it, or use the host name instead of IP and visa versa)

    Worked out why, I had another cookie from the same server (Hosts quite a few web-based items) that had the word "GUID" in it, I exported & removed said cookie, loaded up the bittorrentsync webUI, it assigned the "GUID" cookie, then imported "SESSION_GUID" back in.

    All works fines.

    What he said.

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ?!

  6. 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.

    1. First Create a SyncApp folder on your PC or portable USB device
    2. Put the "SyncApp.exe" inside the folder you created
    3. Inside the same folder create a new empty "Text Document" file and rename it from "New Text document.txt" to "settings.dat"
    4. 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.

  7. 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.
