  1. [Solved] In Log : Failed To Create Empty Suffix For File

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I've noticed this in log file, for quite a few files, is it something I should worry about?

  7. Something Weird Going On With Rate Limiting

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    Posted

    2 windows machines on lan,

    direct connection (arrows in front of device in devices tab),

    rate limit local peers = true ,

    download limits = 0,

     

    upload limits from 1kB/s up to 1300kB/s are respected properly.

    Upload limits > 1300kB/s result in an upload speed of 1300kB/s

    Upload limit = 0 saturates the connection at 11MB/s

     

    Does any one have an idea as to what could be going on ?

     

    thx,

    Tom.

  11. .syncignore issue with subfolders of windows user profile

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    Not working for me. Do you have a unidirectional sync also, i.e. are you using the read-only key?

     

    Yes, I am also using the read-only key for this case.

     

     

    Btw, do the .syncignore *files* need to be identical, or is it the parsed text data that needs to be identical? In other words, does a linebreak or a whitespace in one of the files break the validity?

    And is there a chance to see if two folders have mismatching .syncignore files, via a warning message or log entry or something? I guess every user would always want to get alerted about this immediately.

     

    When I was setting this up, I usually copied the entire .syncignore file from one machine to the others. In some cases I copied the contents of the file. Both ways would have preserved the file format (CRLF, etc).

    I never use MS Notepad when editing, always used notepad++

  13. .syncignore issue with subfolders of windows user profile

    hi o-awesome-o, thanks for your suggestion.

    Unfortunately changing the .Syncignore to

    AppDataAppData/*

    doesn't change anything.

    Please also take note that, knowing windows, the AppData folder has many subfolders.

    BTsync seems to be ignoring all folders as instructed, except for the 2 folders mentioned earlier.

     

    Also, in between each modification to the .Syncignore file, I'm removing the shared Sync folder at both sides, and I empty the contents of the folder on the destination machine.

    I then modify the .Syncignore and restart BTsync.

  14. .syncignore issue with subfolders of windows user profile

    Hi,

     

    I've been reading up on several threads / FAQs re the .syncignore file created in the root of a sync-folder.

    Running 2 windows7 machines, btsync 1.1.82

     

    For this sync, the root is c:\Users\Christiane

    Both machines have just the one line in their .syncignore :

    AppData

    I can see syncing going on for folders 

    AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\CookiesAppData\Roaming\BitTorrent Sync

    Why?

  15. switch from full access to read-only secret

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    1) Copy the folder's read-only secret on what would be considered the source machine

    2) Remove the folder from Sync on the machine that is going to be put into read-only

    3) Add the folder back to Sync using the read-only secret you previously copied on the machine that is going to be put into read-only

    At this point, the read-only side is going to re-index the previously synched files ?

  18. Silly Slow Sync Speed over WAN

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    Actually, when I write WAN, I do mean WAN. As in the opposite of LAN.

    If I were talking about a wireless local network, that would have been WLAN.

    Both machines are showing a direct connection to each-other (arrow icon in devices tab). I saw in other threads that this indicates NAT and/or UPNP are functioning properly.

  20. Silly Slow Sync Speed over WAN

    in Sync General Discussion

    Hi all,

    I've just installed BT Sync, while I love the idea I'm having a bit of a speed issue.

    Here's my setup :

    BTSync is freshly installed on 2 W7 computers. Sync is happening over WAN.

    I used to sync manually using FTP, so both pc's have an existing fileset. Syncing is mainly for backup purposes, from 1 machine to the other, rarely the other way round.

    BTsync is currently indexing on both machines, as I speak 330GB in 808 files, the folder actually contains 2.21TB in 5578 files over 435 subfolders. There's a while to go before indexing will be done I guess...

    Indexing is eating some CPU cycles and memory, but nowhere near saturation. We're talking 30-50%.

    While indexing is happening a file transfer has started, highest UP speed I've seen is 30kB/s. This is _very_ slow when compared to an FTP transfer which saturates the upstream link at 3.1Mb/s

    This screenie clearly shows what I mean. In the graph you see BTSync transferring, then the graph ramps up as I start an FTP transfer.

    So, the question is obvious : why is BTSync not reaching the same speeds as the FTP transfer???

    Sorry if this post seems long-winded, I really would like this to work, as BTSync offers set-it & forget-it vs manual FTP syncing.

    cheers,

    Tom.
