[Bittorrent Sync on LAN very slow 5 MBIT? Any suggestions?]

I'm kinda having the same issue besides I'm not using wireless...

I am syncing 2 Nas devices over wired LAN (freenas and qnap).

I'm getting the double arrow icons.

The transfer speed is a constant 3MB/s

When copying a file directly from nasshare to nasshare, the speed is 70MB/s which is closer to my Gigabyte lan connection.

This is when scp'ing one file to the other device using putty, so no intermediaries.

[Supported NAS]

Have been struggling a bit with FreeNas and btsync.

Now that it all works without the need for a jail (I think), here are my findings.

I assume a volume has been set up on the FreeNas.

• create a user 'btsync' with a homedir accessible for writing after the reboot.
  
• log on to FreeNas using ssh (putty or shell) with the root user.
  
• enable write access on the OS.
  

  
  mount -uw /
  

  
  

• based on http://forums.freena...-install.12722/ I adapted a btsync_install.sh script :
  

  #!/bin/sh
  # Installs Bittorrent Sync (btsync) under a FreeNAS jail

  Create the file in the root homedir, give exe access and run it :
  

  
  cd /root
  vi installscript.sh
  

  
  [insert], paste the script and save (:wq)
  

  
  chmod +x installscript.sh
  sh installscript.sh
  

  
  

• After that, add a post-init command via the freenas-gui that says
  

  
  service btsync start
  

  
  

[Sync Stops @ 4.0GB]

Has this been resolved ?

This would render btsync useless on FreeNas ...

[[Now Implemented!] Corporate Proxy]

Any progress on adding proxy support, lads ? This would make your app a total dropboxkiller.
