  1. I guess you could think of Bitsync as having 2 parts, a PC to PC VPN for file copying only and a file synch system with some advanced data compression / synching.

    I'm hoping that Bitsync becomes the basis for a PC to PC VPN which will allow more than just file sharing, I'd like to see printer sharing and remote control using RDC or VNC programs.

    This would remove or reduce the chances of you-know-who being able to sniff / monitor commercial VPN connections.

  2. I just noticed my files don't seem to be current, my last QBW file is from 10.22 even though I used Qbooks Monday.

    I do have QBW.SyncPart file date 11.24 but my data source name and another file are dated 11.25.

     

    I have Qbooks on a separate PC that I usually shut down right away, I'll leave it on after my next Qbooks session to see how long it takes for the data to sync before and after I disable the file monitoring processes.

    I noticed exactly the same problem.

    Me 3, my win 7  netbook with dbf files  from 9.16 managed to replace files on my desktop with a 9.20 date. I was able to restore the correct versions with Spideroak. Both folders are on Truecrypt partitions, I have to keep remembering to share those drives after a reboot, otherwise Bitsync can't see the other device.

    this is the first time I've seen this in the 2 months I've been using Bitsync.

     

    Bitsync hangs when rebooting my XP pro PC, have not seen that on win 7 or 8.

  4. One of my clients bought a new PC last week. Normally I would drive to the client's office, pickup the PC and bring it back to my office for basic OS updates, program installs, drive partitioning, etc.

    My next trip would be to copy over the data and make the swap, that usually was a 2 or 3 hour process.

    This week I used a remote control program to install Bitsync on the existing PC and had all the data copied over before I left my office, a great time saver. Once I got onsite the last minutes data copied without any intervention on my part.

    I've stopped using Spideroak for syncing folders and will soon stop using it for my online backup service once I get a NAS.

    Since Spideroak and Bitsync both use about 200k of RAM each that will help reduce the overhead.

  5. Sounds like someone else might have created a sync on the corporate folder, which presents an interesting security aspect, how would a system admin know if his/her server folders were being synced?

    I got that same error when I tried creating a sync from a 3rd PC to my main PC, I had forgotten that I already had a sync on that folder on the main to a 2nd PC. Once I copied the key from the master to the 3rd PC it worked.

  6. >>just disable the Relay, Tracker, and DHT options

    I'm new to BT sync, can these be set globally? So far it looks like I need to do this on each of my 15 folders individually.

    I did see a netstat entry for coxhn.net:1038 right after installing the client which went away after I blocked sync in my firewall.

    Process explorer shows sync using 114k / 297k of ram on an XP pro laptop but only 58k / 187k on a win 7 starter netbook that has the same number of folders being synched.

    I turned off all my syncs in Spideroak thinking BT sync could replace it but the memory use has me rethinking my plan.
