The ".bts" links are NOT analogous to the traditional "selective sync" option that many people are asking for. It is a great feature for sure, but it is very different in behaviour.
Yes I agree. Since it allows you to selectively sync files it is not like I have a root folder that contains folder x y z and three peers.
Peer 1 can have access to folder x and the rest can have access to y and z but not x.
That'd be selective for me. Like I mentioned in a couple posts already (http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/33912-needs-a-proper-selective-sync-option/?view=findpost&p=98579 & http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/33718-selective-file-sync/?view=findpost&p=98010 )

Sorry I was terribly tired last night and just skimmed the board...
-
Wait.. is that a total of peers per BitTorrent Sync instance or per Share in once running instance?
-
Remove the share from btsync and add it again.
That should trigger the indexing.
-
I was doing great til this update. Now I have PDSSERVER2 hanging.. it does not sync.
All of these have the same btsync version running? Have you tried re-indexing the share on pdsserver2?
-
Aha! That's a complete different story lel
-
If you want to pause BTSync completely why don't you write yourself a script that stops btsync, sleeps for x amount of seconds on user input basis and then starts it again?
i don't think this is a feature that would make it in the application.
-
1.) No the indexing of files does not interfere with the config file that should be fine.
2.) It depends. Is the server at home and the webgui only accessable in your home network?
-
Moe is incorrect - If you have 3 connected nodes, one being R/W (let's call it "A") and the other two R/O ("B" and "C"), then the following should happen:
- B and C will receive data/changes from A.
- B and C can also share received data between themselves.
- Changes made on B or C will not propagate to other devices
Wow! Sorry! I had no idea.. huh

Open up the Terminal Application by searching it in Spotlight and then enter this command
sudo kill -9 `ps aux | grep BitTorrent | awk '{print $2}'`This will exit all zombie processes of BitTorrent Sync.
You can verify this by first running this
ps aux | grep BitTorrent
Which gives you something like
moe 7093 4.5 2.3 3799924 94968 ?? R 10:57PM 0:03.19 /Applications/BitTorrent Sync.app/Contents/MacOS/BitTorrent Sync
If you enter the kill command above and run ps aux | grep BitTorrent command again you only will see the grep process
moe 7119 0.0 0.0 2432772 536 s000 S+ 10:59PM 0:00.00 grep BitTorrent
+ you will see something like
kill: <high number>: No such process
This is ok and you don't have to worry about.
Please give feedback if it worked for you.
-
It will talk to the relay.
Have you tried it already? That will probably answer your question better than us specualting about it IMO
-
Maybe try to run the btsync.exe in an elevated command prompt?
-
You have to fully uninstall all old versions of BitTorrent Sync, like it says in the readme in thick red letters ;-).
Then you can grab a tar file and extract it and run BitTorrent Sync.
Basically: Please read the Readme File http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/33930-new-sync-beta-build-2051-with-community-testing-task-3/
-
How did you install the 1.x version?
And don't forget you have to fully uninstall all other btsync instances on that NAS!
-
That is not how it works when you have peers that are read only.
They only can be served with data by read-write instances.
-
It's also kinda confusing that when you delete a synced file, it is replaced with a .bts file, instead of actually deleting the file. To delete a file, you have to delete it twice.
I haven't tested, but I can imagine that this might confuse some apps where you delete a file from within the app, the app deletes it from the file system, but the file is still shared to all other devices and a .bts file is still on my share.
The .bts file is just a placeholder for the actual file. If you delete the actual file a placeholder with the exact same name + .bts as the extention is placed and is ~ 100 - 200kb in file size.
Or if you mean something else, can you maybe try to explain it a bit more?
The "on demand" mode (with .bts links) is a great option, but not always ideal.
For example, I don't always want to even SEE all the files in a share. If someone has shared a folder with me and I'm only interested in one subdirectory, all those .bts files are just added and unnecessary noise.
A traditional "selective sync" option (like Dropbox) would be an excellent option in addition to "on demand". It should behave just like "always/full/auto" sync mode, but with some exclusions. Anything that is excluded (either specifically or by glob pattern or regex pattern) simply wouldn't show up in the local share. But everything that does show up behaves just like any other file.
See http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/33718-selective-file-sync/?p=98010

You can built your own version by using the API.
There is lots of docs and threads helping you do a thing like that.
-
As I understood, using the API requires an installed and configured version of the full BTSync with UI. It would be nice to send commands to a portable CLI, like its possible with Linux, instead of calling local http requests and feeling unsafe about whats happening.
On OS X you just call the binary with your arguments and then you have a running btsync instance.
Same goes for Linux.
For Windows I bet it is exactly the same - you don't have to "install" it.
-
No it is not a built in function but I know that there is a thread in Feature Request regarding the same topic.. you might want to search for that and share your thoughts there.
-
Not if when you add a new device you set it's default behavior to "Available" instead of "Connected" - that way you can select a different location for each share you subsequently "connect"
True.
Although I feel like syncing to a non empty folder, basically merging them and not syncing doublicate files, is something that should be possible.
-
You can find information on that in the Developer subforums here http://forum.bittorrent.com/forum/106-developers/ and here http://help.getsync.com/.
And to answer your question: no and yes.
No you can't add a share to a BitTorrent Sync Sync instance running in GUI mode via the command line.
There is a way to add shares to a BitTorrent Sync instance but that means you have to run BitTorrent Sync in non gui mode and have all the shares in a configuration file typed out or add a share via a link pointing to your local running BitTorrent Sync instance.
You can find out about these ways in the documentation or in the Developer forums.

No there is no limit in file size.
No there is no limit in how many folders you have or subfolders in them.
No there is no limit on how many files you have in a folder.
No 2.0 won't limit you on how many files you will be able to sync.
Yes everything will be synced in a share not just the root of the share but also every subfolder.
The only limitation is your hard drive space on both clients to sync everything you want.
You can find more about the BitTorrent Sync 2.0 features on the forums here http://blog.bittorrent.com/2014/11/19/what-to-expect-next-from-sync/

Maybe he has a server and is teaming the NICs?
But it is very unclear what he really wants - I don't think it has something to do with routers or modems.
-
@sup3rior, what version of Sync are you using?
Moe's last reply references (and and I suspect panoptes' reply also does) functionality that is only present in the forthcoming Sync 2.0 (which is currently in alpha, so you may not be using it)
Whoops! Yes, you're correct! Sorry.
Cache Folder To Store The *.!ut Files In. Once Complete, Move To Correct Location.
in Feature Requests
Posted
If you get into the office and your file has not been fully synced it would just be starting to sync as you connect to the internet again. I don't see the point in having a "cache" or more like a "incomplete" folder.
Are you experiencing these issues a lot that BitTorrent Sync GUI says it's done syncing and the actual file is not being present in said share? Maybe a debug log sent to the devs could help fix an issue if there is one.
The rest sounds very like specific requests. The only way I can think of that this would make it in BitTorrent Sync is when running with an API key in a config file. Normal user GUI mode - I am not so sure about that.
