  1. [Bug? ] Infinite sync whenever permission denied

    I have 2 users

    btsync and anebg

    I had created a folder by user anebg and forgot to set write permission to group (so btsync could write to it). It resulted in the error above, and on the web ui, my upload was at max throughput and the "download left" (or upload left on the other node) never went down to 0. It remained at 70Mb(size of file) for minutes until i added the group permission.

    In theory I could've left it running all night long under a false sense of "being okay" and it would've transfered gigs over trying to sync one <100Mb file.

    It would be nice if in a further version, the error could bubble up to the web ui and stop trying to sync. I kinda just luckily tailed the log and found out.

    Using Ubuntu 12.04 on both nodes and the version from the ppa for servers.

  2. Is initial seeding implemented ?

    Performance wise it is very close to "turned off" if you compare it to BitTorrent super-seed mode. You do want to have a supernode for a fast file distribution inside the LAN, where all nodes have the same connection speed. When you will have nodes with different speeds the fastest distribution strategy is different.

    We will continue improvement in this area, but most likely it will become a part of configuration. This way you could adjust the strategy for your needs.

    Say I have 5 nodes spanning across the internet over cable isp ( 50Mb down / 10Mb up), How would I optimize for fastest sync and less upload? I feel like this issue becomes relevant due to certain ISPs capping transfers. Is this at least on the roadmap?
