  3. File won't sync: FAILED HASH CHECK

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I have a file I changed a couple of days ago. One of my remotes has this:

    [20130707 09:05:22.935] *** 01-Movement 1.m4a: PIECE 0 FAILED HASH CHECK

    [20130707 09:05:23.436] Going to connect to peer 98.206.73.27:44822 for file Vangelis/Soil Festivities/01-Movement 1.m4a

    [20130707 09:05:23.436] Torrent 01-Movement 1.m4a status:137 error:<NULL> meta:1 conns:1 io:0

    and it just keeps repeating and trying to download this file and fail. What can I do to get things back in sync?

  4. Really confused by .SyncIgnore

    For some reason, the .SyncIgnore seems to be the basis for which files a peer will ignore when 'sending' files, but .SyncIgnore doesn't seem to affect what the peer receives.

    Not sure if this is a bug or intentional. I don't like it either. I think it would be more natural if it ignored for all BTSync functionality.

    Yes. It seems my only way out of this connundrum is to set up a bunch of secrets and cherry-pick amongst them. The problem is that I don't have XYZ but more like 15-20 different "chunks".

    Previously I've been using "unison" for this kind of thing and it's very happy doing things piecemeal. But it's on demand and requires an SSH server, so those are downsides.

    Here's my situation: I have three computers (A, B, &C). Let's say I have a folder Share on each computer with subfolders X, Y, Z.

    On computer A & B I want to synchronize all of XYZ.

    On computer C, I don't have room for Z (or need for it). So I want to exclude it from being synced. I just don't want it to appear at all.

    How can I do this?

    Naively, I would put "Z" into .SyncIgnore on computer C and expect this to happen. Computer C should now no longer care if Z is present or not and shouldn't try to download it if A or B says they have it.

    What I see instead is that "Z" is downloaded by "C".

  6. When is TCP over WAN coming?

    BitTorrent Sync makes my companies firewall really unhappy. After running for a few minutes my internet connection is shut down for "contacting too many hosts". Basically they think I am malware trying to spread a virus.

    The too many hosts thing is odd because I've reduced it to one share, directly connecting to my remote server, turned off DHT, tracker, and relays.

    I do see that BTSync is still occassionally (every 30 seconds?) trying to figure out what the relays and trackers are, so it is making some additional connections, but it seems like at most I should be connecting to 6 hosts: 3 trackers, 2 relays, and my remote machine. All I can figure is that what they are really unhappy about is all the UDP.

    Thanks for any advice.
