  1. I wish you would design your download page for any screen. On my EeePC, I've got 1024x600 and I'm unable to see the relevant downloads for (L)ubuntu. Scrolling doesn't work in Firefox, since the download window is not a regular page. On my iBook Clamshell with 800x600 I am having the same problem. On my netbook I was able to get BTsync anyway from the forum post by tuxpoldo. Thanks! But on the Bluberry clamshell, I am totally clueless as to how to get BTsync working. I've read on the PPC Luddite blog that there is a PowerPC Linux build, but I can't find it anywhere. Specially NOT when clicking Download... I have also come across another strange problem: When syncing files from my MacBook running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and my EeePC running LXLE (basically Lubuntu 12.04.3 with PPAs and fancier design) I have to shorten many file names to get the files to sync. This is VERY annoying since Linux and Mac OS X should have the same limitations for file names. When syncing large folders, BT sync just starts spinning when it gets to a long file name and it won't sync any files after the file with the long file name (at least so it seems from the front end). So I have to quit BT sync (on the Mac), find the file and change the name. Then start BTsync again, wait untill it hits the next long file name, find it in my folder and change its name. Quit BTsync and start it again... After changing a couple of hundred names of files manually for my Book and article folder, and spending days to get through the folder, I was finally able to sync it. But I would really like to use the full title of books like "Ravenscroft, Thomas A briefe dicovrse of the true (but often neglected) vse of Charact'ring the Degres by their Perfection, Imperfection, and Diminution in Measurable Musicke.pdf", since that file name is actually allowed on both Linux and Mac and it tells me much more about the content of the file. Maybe it would be possible to check if the machine on the other end is a Windows machine, and if not, let file names be accepted as they are? Or maybe have a dialog pop up about the file name being too long and asking if the user would like to change the name, in stead of the user having to hunt down all the files and restart BTsync for each file with a long file name? I have given up on syncing my music folder because of this. Had to use sneaker net. Otherwise BTsync is excellent! Thanks for all your work! :-)
