Valid point RE the Pi's 100mb The Synology doesn't have htop, but currently has a load avg of 307 Having said that, other machines (Windows 7) have synced the same files fine (in the same time period) htop for the Pi is here: http://i.imgur.com/43nz3wP.png

Yeah; I had to upload a 1.3gb video to YouTube the other night.... Over ADSL... Took all night I'm ordering me a 100/100 NBN connection as soon as I can.

I'm seeing similar behaviour, but with big files.... I have a raspberry pi syncing movies from my Synology NAS... The NAS recognizes that there's 391.3 GB in 1559 files, but the sync has been going for over 24 hours now and the pi still only has 48.3 GB in 56 files synced. Is this possibly because of the fairly low CPU specs on both ends? EDIT: just to clarify, both boxes are on the same LAN with gigabit connectivity.

Yup.... I just found out today a friend is moving into a new house with NBN... Going to see if we can work out a deal

Backupsy seems pretty damned popular! Thanks everyone. I wish; they live in a rural area and the best internet connection they can get is a pathetic Telstra 3G connection. How do you find backupsy for speed from Perth? (I'm in Melbourne)

It finally got there, thanks for the replies

How did you install it? It should be as simple as deleting the btsync binary, and manually removing your config file(s) etc.

Reading through the forums, it seems I'm not the only one with the idea to sync not only my files between Desktops and Laptops, but to add a read-only server somewhere to act as an off-site backup in the event that all my computers are in my house at the same time when it burns down I'm just curious what hosting options people have found to do this? The best I have been able to find is a dedicated server from Hetzner (2x3tb HDD) or a "Kimsufi" from OVH (500gb HDD). The Hetzner would be ideal, but is a bit of overkill (Core i7 + 16gb RAM) when I really just want the disk space, but I think I'd outgrow 500gb from OVH pretty quick. Has anyone found a provider offering boatloads of disk on a low-spec machine?

Is there any way to "assist" the indexing process? For example, my poor little Synology NAS is busy indexing my photos at the moment: 74.3 GB in 131569 files (Indexing...) It's been going for hours, and I suspect if it gets any physically hotter Frodo might appear and throw a ring into it
