Hi. Before the Resilio Sync rebranding... I've been running an older version, BTSync 1.3.109, successfully for many years now. No major issues until now. I have 3 additional devices syncing to my older Windows XP computer (running BTSync 1.3.109): 1) a Nexus tablet, 2) a Samsung phone (operating system for both is Android), 3) a Windows 8.1 computer (also running BTSync 1.3.109). Everything was syncing beautifully until the Windows 8.1 computer was rebooted yesterday. After the reboot, there's no syncing on the Windows 8.1 computer. BTSync launches fine and all the folder/files load. But now under the Devices section, "No connected devices" is showing - even after many hours of BTSync running. I've tried rebooting all 4 devices, but only the Windows XP computer. the tablet & the phone connect together & syncing is working. I disabled the firewall on the Windows 8.1 computer then restarted BTSync - BTSynce.exe is listed in the firewall & both incoming & outgoing connections are ALLOWED - and I still have "No devices connected". I tried rebooting the router, & I reinstalled 1.3.109 on the Windows 8.1 computer. That didn't help either. I confirm that Windows 8.1 computer has internet access. Google Chrome works. Files download. Videos play. So does anyone have any ideas why a simple computer reboot would cause this "No devices connected" problem to suddenly show? It's as though BTSync isn't getting access to the router. Is that even possible... even it the firewall disabled? Is there a Windows 8.1 service that needs to be running for BTSync to work? (Perhaps is got stopped for some reason). Or maybe a system file that is needed is suddenly missing/or got corrupted. I'm at a loss as how to fix this, although I'm sure it's something simple. What else can I try? If anyone could help fix this "No devices connected" error then that would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: I know my files synced on 4 January 2023. So I did a system restore for 27 December 2022 hoping everything would be working again. But nope, BTSync still not working.

Sync stopped for no reason
mike20021969 replied to radiofun@morrisbb.net's topic in Sync Troubleshooting
Just curious - do you use any IP blocking software? -
Hi. I'm using Windows XP SP3. I'm using (BitTorrent) Sync 1.3.109. I believe this is the last version with XP support. I'm syncing to many folders from the laptop to 2 devices - a tablet and a phone both running Android with both also running Resilio Sync 2.6.3. (Incidentally, 2.6.3 isn't the problem as this has been happening for months but is now irritating me). Everything is syncing wonderfully... apart from a single file which continually shows the following: It is a text document containing 9 lines of text and is 572 bytes in size. The file called Magnet.txt DOES sync and any slight changes made to it are reflected on the tablet and phone, yet it never appears to finish. If I swap it out for a blank, 0 bytes New Text Document file, it completes! If I type a single letter into the text file (i.e. A) and save, it also completes! What could be the problem with my 9 line document. It consists of multiple: letters numbers . : \ Thanks.

Laptop Connects to Nexus 7 But Not Samsung Phone
mike20021969 replied to mike20021969's topic in Sync Troubleshooting
Update: So without doing anything at all, not even an un-install & re-install, the Samsung phone has right this minute decided, after almost 6 days, to connect to my laptop. Unbelievable. But at least it's now connected back again. -
Laptop Connects to Nexus 7 But Not Samsung Phone
mike20021969 replied to mike20021969's topic in Sync Troubleshooting
Hello. Both the Nexus 7 (a tablet) and the Samsung (mobile phone) are running the same version 2.5.2 (6891). Apart from the folder locations for the files to be Synced to, all Settings and Advanced (settings) on those 2 devices are set identical. Listening ports are different, but I haven't altered them. Resilio Sync must have set them(?). As regards to the update process, all I can say is I get a notification icon letting me know there's updates to installed programs. I always grant any permissions that are needed. The Thursday before I made my post, everything had synced (and has done since Dec 25th when I got the phone). I updated all apps that needed updating on the phone. When that had completed, I turned the phone off. The next day (Friday) is when Syncing failed and I saw the Peers: 0 status on the Samsung phone. Regardless of the folders being shared etc., the problem is that the Samsung shows no peers after I updated to latest version. Should I try un-installing and re-installing the app? -
Laptop Connects to Nexus 7 But Not Samsung Phone
mike20021969 posted a topic in Sync Troubleshooting
I'm running BitTorrent Sync 1.3.109 on Windows XP laptop & Resilio Sync 2.5.2 (6891) on both Nexus 7 tablet and Samsung Mobile phone. The laptop is the main machine. The other 2 devices are purely for receiving files from the laptop. I've been syncing files between all devices for many months right up until yesterday. The laptop & Nexus 7 are still connected fine. But today when I switched Samsung phone on to start syncing, nothing happens. I then saw Peers: 0 on the Sync interface on Samsung phone. Nexus 7 still shows Peers: 1 (and syncs with laptop). Up until yesterday, Peers: 2 was showing on both devices as everything was working fine. All devices "saw" each other. I've not altered any network settings at all on any of my 3 devices. Everything is default. I've rebooted the router, laptop, Nexus 7 tablet & Samsung phone, yet Samsung phone just shows Peers: 0. Is this something to do with version 2.5.2 on my Samsung phone? Resilio Sync was working until I allowed an update of the app. Thanks. -
It looks like Windows XP has been abandonded too...

I used the direct link originally. But yes, the download site link is still serving 1.4.103.

Sync.log File Is Enormous; Can I Delete / Move It?
mike20021969 replied to romeograham's topic in Sync General Discussion
What is the value measured in? In Sync 1.3.109, the default value is set at 10. But 10 what...? As 244.2GB is a whopper of a log file, I hope the value isn't terrabytes -
There's talk of Sync 2.0 here: http://blog.bittorrent.com/2014/11/19/what-to-expect-next-from-sync/

Fully understood now that XP support is back, thanks It doesn't mention anywhere in the 1.4.82 changelog that XP support had been re-introduced so how would I, or anyone else, know?
-
Sorry for the late response, but I still had this in my mind and hadn't read anything to suggest otherwise: http://forum.bittorrent.com/index.php?app=forums&module=forums§ion=findpost&pid=90009
-
I wouldn't have twigged - I saw no mentioned about Windows XP in the changelog or the thread. Are there any screenshots of the new interface around? Thanks.
-
Did I read this right... Windows XP is supported (in 1.4.99)?
-
Phew! It looks like I had a lucky escape not being able to install 1.4.x on XP. These current 1.4.x builds sound like a right nightmare.

Previous 1.3.x Sync For Android Wanted
mike20021969 replied to mike20021969's topic in Sync General Discussion
I've just noticed that the 1.3.21 apk for Android is now listed on the Sync version 1.3.109 downloads page: http://syncapp.bittorrent.com/1.3.109/ Many thanks to whoever did that -
Unless you have provided your "secret" to a 3rd party, no one else has access to your files. Basically, "users" are people you have provided the "secret" to.
-
Thanks for that very comprehensive response. I do like the idea/possibility that even the 1.3.xx version could receive updates.
-
Hmmm... that sounds promising(?). Is it possible to clarify whether Sync will be compatible with XP in a future release (e.g. 1.5) or not? According to your reply underneath my post here... http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/30866-latest-desktop-build-13109/page-2#entry89210 ...support for 1.4.xx builds is a complete non starter.

Previous 1.3.x Sync For Android Wanted
mike20021969 replied to mike20021969's topic in Sync General Discussion
After installing you need to be quick... Launch "PlayStore", then click on "My apps" and scroll down to Sync then uncheck Allow automatic updating. Job done. -
That's naive. This software is from BitTorrent Inc. I'm sure the company is raking it in from e.g. "Plus" versions of uTorrent, and offers/ads via the installer from "free" version etc.. So developers are probably working on this (and other projects) full time and getting paid aswell.

Previous 1.3.x Sync For Android Wanted
mike20021969 replied to mike20021969's topic in Sync General Discussion
Many thanks for that link. As I can only run 1.3.109 on Windows XP, 1.4.x compatibility is a non-issue for me. If in future I hear the 1.4.x Android version can "see" the 1.3.109 PC version, I might update android version give it another shot. But I'm happy syncing with the 1.3.x versions that I've been using for months. -
Previous 1.3.x Sync For Android Wanted
mike20021969 replied to mike20021969's topic in Sync General Discussion
Exactly. Links to previous versions for PC are readily available, so why not for android version too?? This 1.4.x update has cocked up big time. Maybe GreatMarko can have a word in a developers "shell-like" and get an offical link provided to last 1.3.x? -

No luck - The requested information does not exist, moved or deleted. Cant a developer provide an official link, please? (I don't really trust 3rd party sites in case the file has been altered somehow).
