  1. Thanks for your reply,

     

    I installed btsync-gui as suggested and that's fixed the problem, however other than the btsync icon on my panel (which is now working fine) I have 2 menu entries BitTorrent Sync & BitTorrent Sync Web UI and neither of them work when I select BitTorrent Sync nothing happens and if I select BitTorrent Sync Web UI I'm prompted for a password, to my knowledge I have never password protected btsync

     

    Any help would be much appreciated

  2. Hi Guys

     

    I'm running Peppermint 5 (Ubuntu derivitive) on 2 PC's and 1 laptop all of them have BTSync installed, last night i received an update and it's broke BTSync on each computer, the icon is still there on the panel but it has an exclamation mark in the centre indication an error.

     

    when i right click on the icon "Open Web UI" is greyed out and at the top it says "Connection Error 400" 

     

    This happened to each PC immediately after the update 

     

    If I try to restart it from the terminal I'm told it's running but it's not

     

    Here's a copy of the terminal output

  3. Hi guys

     

    I've been using btsync for a while now and have it installed on 4 PC's (3 Linux PC's and 1 Windows PC's) and it's installed and worked flawlessly 

     

    I installed to all the Linux PC's by adding this ppa  using the following command

    add-apt-repository ppa:tuxpoldo/btsync

     

     then updating and installing using the command

     

    sudo apt-get install btsync-user

     

     each time it's worked perfectly

     

    However I'm trying to install it to my daughters netbook running the same Linux OS as all the other Linux PC's buy when I try to install I get an error message in the terminal " btsync-user can't be found"

     

    I can install by typing "sudo apt-get install btsync but that doesn't give me the icon on the taskbar like on all my other PC's.

     

    Can anyone tell me if anything has changed or if there is somethingI'm doing wrong

     

     

    Many thanks

  4. Hi and thanks for the welcome

     

    You're absolutely right I still had the file open on the work PC closing it restarted the sync.

     

    The annoying thing is that I knew I had to close one before opening the other it was the same with Dropbox, must have had a mental block

     

     

    Many thanks

  5. Hi Guys


     


    I'm new to this forum and new to bittorrentsync, I'm not a particularly computer literate person so please excuse me if the answer to my problem is obvious.


     


    I installed bittorrentsync on 2 Windows PC's one running XP and the other Win7 , The XP machine is located at my business premises and the Win 7 is at home 


     


    I want to be able to sync a quickbooks file between the 2 PC's, I set up the sync which seemed quite straightforward and the initial sync went perfectly, both PC's were in sync but today after making changes to the quickbooks file at work, I opened up the Win 7 PC at home to see if it synced ok but the download stuck at 8.7mb and the under the "Transfers Tab"  it stated no transfers were taking place even though the bittorrentsync icon was circling as if to suggest it was, I left it fully 45 minutes but it never moved from 8.7mb


     


     


    Any help or advice would be much appreciated


     


     


    Many thanks
