[Waaaaaay to much multicast traffic]

Okay, with the beta version the packets per second is reduced to the number of folders which got no devices connected.

But this is still way to much. Once in 5 minutes would be enouth, because another pc would send also packets to find this pc.

Running the now latest version on Windows 8.

You can always turn off the "Search LAN" setting (a per folder setting) to reduce significantly the amount of multicast traffic on your local network! With this setting disabled, if your local devices can't then find each other, but they all have static IPs, you could use the "pre-defined hosts" options to identify them to Sync

Well but thats only a crappi workaround ... not a fix.

The Problem is that the multicast-packets not sent once in a minute or something but more than once a second. Thats pretty much traffic without any reason, because if another computer added to the network the lan-peer-find would start from the other end.

I've been searching for something in my network with wireshark as I'd realized that BTSync sends 8-10 multicast-packets for LAN-peer-find per second while connected via WiFi to my network.

Is that a bug or a nice feature to force the users to get gigabit-switches?
