  1. Being a prominent open source developer I am fully aware of the "beta" tag - so no need to remind me. However that does not mean you can't be disappointed. I can be. Of course I can be. I can tolerate a lot with an "alpha" tag and I tolerate a little less with a "beta" tag. BTSync is definitely needing some polish and to that end, I fear what this project is lacking is a formal bug tracking system to allow us to report formal bugs and see progress on them and know when they are resolved in the release notes. We the community wants this to be the best product available so give us the tools to better service you. DropBox is not that a different animal, but it does work extremely well in the scenario I was hoping to use BTSync for. Now please note, in my scenario, there are NOT multiple people working on the same file at the same time. They all work on their own file. So again, this is something I would expect BTSync to do extremely well. DropBox does. As far as keeping the machines all in time sync that surprises me as a requirement. The protocol should be intelligent enough to allow for time drift (especially over different timezones). I can't believe the BT protocol doesn't allow for this already. Thank you again for your replies.
  2. Got very excited at BTSync but sadly it is just not as polished as what DropBox is, at doing the very thing it should be doing extremely well, syncing files. When there is maybe one or two people sharing a folder, then things are fine. However, if you have 20 people all sharing the folder, with files under a 1MB then things go really wrong. Files are randomly deleted all at once ... "Remote Peer removed file" is the message in the window; but we have no one called "Remote Peer". Files getting duplicated; we have so many files named "current_file_name.1.xls" "current_file_name.2.xls" "current_file_name.3.xls" and so on. It just doesn't seem to handle this very well. We have 22 users all sitting within the same network sharing a folder that has literally 25 files in it. Everyone is on Windows and everyone using the latest BTSync software. Such a shame ... it was showing so much promise.
