  2. Speed limited by internet connection for LAN syncs

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I probably should have mentioned that I had the relay/tracker server options turned off to try and force the LAN speed with no luck. I also set the predefined host to the IP:Port of the host machine under the 192.168.x.x address.The icon only shows two arrows, and no cloud, so I assume it's connecting locally.

    I will change the encryption to false and tcp to true and see what that does, but I think I'm hitting a wall with my max bandwidth.

    Thanks for the help.

  3. Speed limited by internet connection for LAN syncs

    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.

    I have a media collection which I access through a Raspberry Pi media server (running raspbmc). My family had become accustomed to having this library at their disposal when I was living at home, but now that I don't live at home anymore (thank FSM), that media is lost to them. Here is my solution:

    1. Media added to my personal computer

    2. Raspberry Pi #1 checks for new files (still working on automating this) and takes any new files and saves it to the external drive connected to Pi #1 and deletes the original.

    3. Pi #1 then syncs with Pi #2 (or any other Pis) which is located at my family's house with it's own external drive.

    All I need to do is add media to my personal computer, and now my family has access to the same media without doing anything on their end.

    I also have a separate partition on both drives that act as a family backup that all computers make nightly backups to, which also get synced.
