+1 for btsync as Open Source project.

Are you speaking of this release: Updated: Jan 13, 2014Version: 1.2.47Or the next? I can't find a list of the fixed bugs.

I've been told that the folders "disappear" every time the ipad is offline.

Is there already a known release date?

I'm speaking for syncing devices in LAN environment without accessing Internet.

Confimed: peers need to have the same gateway. If you have 2 peers in the same network but a gateway is not set, they are not going to discover each other. If I set no gateway but I add a predefined host, then peers are able to sync. Raccoon, I think you should also disable search LAN. You have only two computers so you can set on both the respective predefined host.

the problem with me is that one of the PC is always on VPN...the gateway is always the same for all the devicesYou are probably wrong here. I'm not a super expert in vpn but, if you have a LAN to LAN with openvpn, the requests for a host on the other side of the vpn are not managed by you gw! You gw will forward the requests to the gw on the other side of the vpn (because it's aware of that ip class). So, if it's lika suspect (the gateway is important for lan discovery), it will fail in a vpn envirorment. It may work with "predefined hosts".

I repeated the test at home (only 'search lan' enabled) and the wifi was isolated from Internet (so my 2 laptops and Android phone), and it worked! I may be wrong but they need to have the same gateway to discover each other, even it this gateway is not connected to Internet, Raccoon, could you also make this test: 2 pc in the same lan, with the same gw (e.g. your home router): should work also if not connected ad internet. 2 pc in the same lan, without gw. It probably wont work. PS: Think that in sync.log I saw some UPnP requests form my collegue pc but he had no torrent software...but he had a malware!

I think I must contradict my self. I've done another test in my office with 2 pc in my office (twice). I disabled proxy, tracker and search lan and restarted btsync both sides. They were not connecting to each other as expected. As soon as I enable "search LAN" on one of the two peer, they connect and sync! No need to add a predefined host! To be extra sure they are not contacting se tracker I should remove the gateway but I can't do it right now. Also my android mobile connects to both pc(s).

Is it necessary to stop and re-start bsync when I change a folder options like "Use relay server when required"? Is it necessary to do it when changing global variables like listening port? If it's not necessary, are my modification loaded right away or after X time? In such case, how much time? Thank you.

Hi Racconn, I was doing your same tests and the conclusions are the same: devices are not aware of each other without a tracker server. (I thought that "Search LAN" was making the device discover each other by some broadcast or something). Note: using "predefined hosts" you can achive that but App with android and iPhone/iPad you can't choose a listening port, so you can't add them as predefined host. Peers anyway do not sync directly from each other. Well, in my apartament, with my pc and Android phone, it's working. In the office I'm working I'm trying to sync 2 iPad but it seems they download by the Relay Proxy. Tomorrow I'll try to uncheck "Use relay server when required".So I think that "Search LAN" is meaningless without the tracker. Note: I tried to remove the gateway to my phone. This way it's conneted to the LAN but not Internet (so it can't contact the tracker). My laptop is still connected at Internet and I add a big file to the folder I'm syncing. The sync starts and it's using the LAN (by wifi). I undertand that by the sync speed and also because I disabled the relay proxy option. I tried then to remove "Search LAN" form btsync and restart it (laptop). I was expecting it not not be able to connect to my phone because the phone is not connected at Internet (so ignored by the tracker), and btsync should anyway ignore it because it it's in my lan and the option is not set. But it's still able to connect to my phone. Or there's a chache in the tracker, or I'm getting lost. It's funny when the thing works but they shuold not :-) Anyway, to force your devices to sync by lan/wifi, try to disable "Use relay server when required" and restart btsync. Leave the tracker and search LAN options. Let me know!

I have a problem here, I know the device ip (android), but I don't know the port it's using. I've been looking in the setting but there's no possibility of choosing a port (v1.2.9) I don't have any iPad now to check if it's possible on iOS App version.

Hi, may it be useful to add predefined hosts in a lan envirorment? E.g.: I set a rule to my dhcp to assign always the same ip to my mobile/tablet. Then I add it as predefined host.

Hi, I'm going to ask in this topic the things I don't undesrtand in sync.log or that I wish to know more about. [20131119 18:48:16.833] /path/to/file.df: Piece 462 completeDoes that mean the "piece" has been downloaded or sent? [20131119 18:48:16.358] xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: did not pick any blocks. blocking peer temporarilyThere's another topic about this message on the forum. But there's not a 100% clear answer. What is this message caused from. How long is the per going to stay blocked? Other considerations? Extension: ipv4:[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] for '/path/to/file.pdf'Why "extension"? Anyway, what does that mean? NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.It appears in the log even if you disable UPnP (also with v1.2.73). [20131119 18:47:52.409] Error downloading file file.pdf: PostDownload: hostname not foundHere I have no idea. If dns is misconfigured may this happen? [20131119 21:44:02.309] Incoming connection from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:64422I guess this is just a message to know who's connect even if there's no data exchange.

I have to correct this: Server A is running debian lenny (64 bit). Server B is running debian wheezy (64bit).

I've been doing these things: - Server B is now using a new firewall (the previous one has complex configuration with net balancer etc) - Checked that both servers can "speak" with each other by 'nmap -p12345 -sU ip' - Upgrade of latest btsync version: 1.2.73 - Add on both nodes the option "Use predefined hosts" with the respective ip and port. - Restart of btsync processes. Not both servers are synced! But the iPad is still syncing slowly, like it doesn't detect server A that is in the same LAN. On the app there's not the possibility to add a "Use predefined hosts". Do you have any hint?

Done, thank you

then there's a bug. "up to date" is shown by the web interface.

Hi, this is strange: I have two "servers". Server A is inside the office. Server B is outside the office. And an iPad in the same office/netwrok of server A. The 2 servers are bot linux and running btsync 1.2.68 on debian wheezy 64 bit. They are syncing the same folder but btsync on server A doesnt' show server B as connected. Server B is showing server A as connected but not synced (it shows the whole amount of data that needs to be synchronized). The iPad is connected to server A but it very slow at syncing. What I would expect is: - server A and B to be synced between them - ipad to fast recheck it's data connecting to both servers (but mostly to server A because it's in the same newtwork). Note: I removed and re-added the same sync folder on the iPad. Instead - iPad is syncing as if it has no data in its memory. - iPas should anyway sync at wifi speed, but it seems to make a loop, so it syncs using limited office upload.

I read this article on wikipedia before, but for me it's the same UPnP does, so I didn't really know how to interpret them. I'll ignore them :-) Thank you.

I have 2 ipads that are giving me troubles. Anyway, with this topic I wish to understand one thing: if I read on btsync web interface that my ipad is 'synced on 11/15/13 10.29:30' does that means: the last successful sync was at that date/time and there's something wrong now, so it can't sync anymore (and change the date/time as of now)? Nothing has changed in the data I'm syncing, so it doesn't need to change the date/time?

Hi, I'm running btsync 1.2.68 on debian 64 bit. I notice in my log [20131119 12:38:46.509] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 12:49:36.497] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 12:54:44.491] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 12:54:57.498] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 12:59:57.078] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 13:00:09.495] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 13:00:45.514] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 13:00:58.506] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 14:24:22.494] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.Is NAT-PMP related to UPnP? I disabled UPnP because I chose a port that is forwarded by my firewall. What else do these messages means?

less sync.log"sync.log" may be a binary file. See it anyway?Ok, it's a "fake" warning. It's just test file tail -10 sync.log[20131119 12:30:31.508] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 12:38:20.506] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 12:38:46.509] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 12:49:36.497] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 12:54:44.491] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 12:54:57.498] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 12:59:57.078] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 13:00:09.495] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 13:00:45.514] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20131119 13:00:58.506] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.I'm using Version 1.2.68 ( up to date ). Thank you.

Hi, I'm running btsync on linux and I noticed the file sync.log. I tried to open it but it's a binary file. Is it possible to read it somehow?

Update: also the second iPad suffer of the same problem, so it must be repeatable.
