I am useign it to sync vbStudio projects between pcs. Also for backup up of windows user folders, along with bacula to make daily backup of sync folder. Basically using it like crash plan.

Hum i am syncing a few thousand files to a linux server and i don't really get bandwidth like that Ex at idle. And most of it is from another process doing some stat reporting to another server. usr sys idl wai hiq siq| read writ| recv send| in out | int csw 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 | 132B 1308B| 0 0 | 66 142 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 | 396B 2228B| 0 0 | 59 121 1 0 99 0 0 0| 0 0 | 370B 2431B| 0 0 | 62 114 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 |2656B 2260B| 0 0 | 73 132 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 | 132B 1308B| 0 0 | 62 118 0 0 98 1 0 0| 0 56k| 132B 1308B| 0 0 | 117 234 0 0 99 0 0 0| 0 0 | 259B 1308B| 0 0 | 57 112 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 |1880B 1308B| 0 0 | 64 132 0 0 100 0 0 0| 0 0 |1132B 1308B| 0 0 | 62 118 You can use http://www.wireshark.org/ to see whats really going my guess if you have something else doing that. You could also put a limit with iptables or other firewall. On brodcast packets (btsync tries to find peers on the local network by broadcasting) Also what size is your subnet, you could have issues with large ones with other people also using sync. Or someone eles broadcasting on the subnet, it happens often if switches don't have limits set.)

For thous of you that don't know 32bit process's are limited to 4gb max however windows only alowes 32bit applications to use 2gb, like btsync. So if you have a large sync directory and are getting the out of memory error. (like me) You can use the below program to enable all 4gb so btsync can use it. Not sure if this will work with 32bit windows very well but feel free to try. You will probably crash it. http://ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php I was battling this feature for a few day then I remember this useful little app. Just though i would share it. Bittorent guys please give us a 64bit sync program for windows, so we don't hit this limitation. Other wise great app even though its beta.
