I am not sure if this is an issue or just normal behaviour that I am finding odd.
So before I start delving into reproducing it I wanted to know if this is worth reporting.
I have three machines A,B,C. Each of the files has a Videos directory (Directory 1).
Machines A and B have some files in the Videos directory.
Some of the files may be the same.
Total size of the files 34Gb
I set the sync client on all three machines and I let it run.
A day after I decide to sync another directory between Machines B and C (Directory 2).
I set up the secret and I wait for a few hours.
Then I am surprised to see that there are no files on the second directory.
Machines A and B are ubuntu.
Machine C is a mac.
Here is what the different machines UIs say.
Machine A:
- Transfer still in progress to and from machines B and C Directory 1.
Machine B:
- Transfer still in progress to and from machines B and C Directory 1.
- Size of Directory 2 is recognised but no transfer.
Machine C:
- Directory 1: reports 30Gb
- Directory 2: reports 0
My questions are:
- Do/Can the transfers for the two directories happen in parallel?
- I re-niced the process on Machine A, old machine avoiding fan noise in my room. Would that be likely cause for the delay?
- Is it possible that because some filenames where the same on machine A and B to start with the client picks up changes in the file that it is making and re-syncs the file or part of the file?
Any help would be appreciated.
PS: I was looking for the source of the client so I can understand better how it all works.

Is it on github?
Kind regards.
