I reported this to the developers of the Android app and they just responded their client was working... So don't expect this to be working soon. Cheers

There have been updates to the client, but this still hasn't been implemented... Cheers

Am I missing something? I have the Android client and there are hardly any options. There's only iOS and Android as mobile clients, correct? I haven't seen the iOS client. Cheers

No, they don't. If you select the x64 URL from a browser (running on another machine of course, as the machine that runs it is headless) it will bring you to another page without any link. The file then starts to download on the machine that doesn't need it. Cheers

To make bittorrent sync successful this feature needs to be implemented on mobile clients. Some people want to sync all their data on 2 servers and use a mobile client to access these. Cheers

I'm running headless Linux servers and Windows desktops. I just downloaded the Linux binary on my Windows desktop unpacked the tgz with WinRAR and then used winscp to transfer it to several Linux servers. If you would post the URL on your webpage I could right-click it into my clipboard and type "wget " and right click in putty and it's there. Please post a direct URL At least for the headless Linux daemon. Cheers

I would like to know this too. On top of that I'd like to know if a changed big file sends all its content again or merely the portion that changed? Cheers

Does the indexing break even if you are not syncing at all? I think so, but you are not stating this explicitly. I am not saying I don't suffer the same problem, but have not noticed it thus far on Windows 8.1. You do know that Vista is the Windows version that introduced many techniques that only started working properly in Windows 7? I've seen explorer unable to rename a folder because that same explorer process had a file lock on a thumbnail in that folder for only god and Bill gates knows why. This was on Windows 7 with a NAS. This info does not really help you. You just want your Vista installation to continue do what it currently does.

I wrote a bash script to rename these folders and files. I can't really publish it because the system I wrote it on (a QNAP NAS) has an improper "sed" and therefore I had to do a bit of ugly coding Cheers Slashes are a thing too. It's more an Apple problem. They now have embraced the SMB protocol for file-sharing (afp is deprecated) and that doesn't support that much as Apple does on their filesystem Cheers

The problem is not a desktop browser, but an android browser. Normally you can select a piece of text by holding your finger on it until the copy/paste dialogue appears. I just couldn't. As you said, a desktop browser is not a problem. It's a shame that both the client and the web server has issues (albeit of a different kind) Cheers

I just wasted 10 minutes on my Android trying to share a key with a friend. The Android bittorrent client can't do it at all and when I go to the webpage of the btsync that's running on my server things become tedious if you want to select the text that contains the key. Both chrome and the standard browser have difficulties with it. I gave up in the end Cheers

I believe the Windows and Android client don't support it. Is that correct?If I have 5 devices to sync is it enough to let them all connect to one server? Cheers

To do the magic with the keys out still needs servers from bittorrent. Of course we trust you, but.... For some applications I would like to use btsync where I want to control all the communication. What software do I need to run on my server to do the stuff that's now being done by bittorrent? Cheers

To sync 1.2 TB (in 300 thousand files) of data from 1 NAS to another I bought 2 Qnap devices. Because 1 of the devices is more a slave device I took a cheaper model with 256 MB of RAM and an ARM processor. Even though the folders were already in sync that ARM device took a week to reach 100 GB. This on a local connection. I now replaced that device with the same Intel model as the master and it seems it will now get synced after 2 days (still not impressive, but workable). The 2 devices are on the same switch with 1 Gbit Ethernet. I thought of replacing that slave device with a 512 MB model. My question now is.. what brings me the most gain? The memory or the processor? I could have had that 512 MB ARM model much cheaper than that 1 GB Intel model. Cheers

Update: All of a sudden the WebIF showed the 3 folders it needed to sync and I was able to change the preferences... I waited more than 3 days for this to happen...... What can be the cause of this?

For someone else I setup 2 QNAP's with bittorrent sync. Because it took ages to get 1.3 TB in sync I "helped" it with rsync which excluded files starting with a dot. This was all in a gigabit LAN. Now these 2 QNAPs are separated and have to sync over the Internet. The remote QNAP now suddenly has an almost empty WebIF and the 3 folders it is supposed to sync are not shown. If I click on preferences nothing happens.... I have SSH-access to this device and it showed me that in its log it is unable to do a uPnP port mapping with the router This is the log (both IP's and tokens are patched): [20131029 10:36:41.196] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131029 10:36:41.779] HTTP: IP 195.141.6.232: GET /gui/?token=utEKw6FfESM60MP3rq6q2fjkHrXzXlQ9Vx8USeVBHS0k9iWJjSNkmjx8b1IAAAAA&action=getsyncfolders&t=1383039011661[20131029 10:36:42.085] UPnP: Device error "http://192.168.178.40:32469/DeviceDescription.xml": (-2) [20131029 10:36:42.086] HTTP: IP 85.291.115.244: GET /gui/?token=utEKw6FfESM60MP3rq6q2fjkHrXzXlQ9Vx8USeVBHS0k9iWJjSNkmjx8b1IAAAAA&action=getsyncfolders&t=1383039012662 [20131029 10:36:42.405] HTTP: IP 195.141.6.232: GET /gui/?token=utEKw6FfESM60MP3rq6q2fjkHrXzXlQ9Vx8USeVBHS0k9iWJjSNkmjx8b1IAAAAA&action=getsyncfolders&t=1383039013661 [20131029 10:36:42.694] HTTP: IP 195.141.6.232: GET /gui/?token=utEKw6FfESM60MP3rq6q2fjkHrXzXlQ9Vx8USeVBHS0k9iWJjSNkmjx8b1IAAAAA&action=getsyncfolders&t=1383039014661 [20131029 10:36:42.986] HTTP: IP 195.141.6.232: GET /gui/?token=utEKw6FfESM60MP3rq6q2fjkHrXzXlQ9Vx8USeVBHS0k9iWJjSNkmjx8b1IAAAAA&action=getsyncfolders&t=1383039015662 [20131029 10:36:43.017] HTTP: IP 89.150.179.117: GET /gui/?token=utEKw6FfESM60MP3rq6q2fjkHrXzXlQ9Vx8USeVBHS0k9iWJjSNkmjx8b1IAAAAA&action=getsyncfolders&t=1383039016662 It is however going to the other QNAP which is behind a bundle of 5 ADSL-connections. I would now like to change the setup of the bittorrent client so that it is not using uPnP port mapping anymore, but if I press on the "Preferences" button in the webif nothing happens. I'm quite familiar with "vi" so editing the config would be no problem, but it turns out this file is not plain text file.... I am considering to remove the whole bittorrent setup and reinstalling it again on that machine. I would rather not do that because it is 1.4 TB and a lot of files > 300.000
