Thanks for your explanations! I've to test the behaviour with cloned machines with different accounts, but given the skills of the students I'm pretty sure that there will be duplicated names and passwords. I'll try if that works or not. Regards Pere

Preparing a workshop I'm setting up a virtual machine for members to play with. As it is a collaborative project, it would be interesting to share all a folder. Every member will have a copy from the virtual machine with all needed programs installed (it's complex, that is the reason to use virtual machines instead of installations on real ones, specially due to the reduced IT skills from the majority, so we can be sure the correct settings are applied). But, will BTSync work with that setup? That is identical machines, with the same parameters and the same port, some of them under the same WAN IP on a school network. Before I try and let BTSync run into problems, better to ask!

Signed up and uploading! In your terms of service you are somewhat restrictive about sharing keys (only for personal and family use). Would a teacher sharing audiovisual materials (<10 GB, not copyrighted) with their students (<100) be allowed or considered abuse? Or simple would the connection be throttled down? (Yes, I know, the school should provide a similar service, but they do not nor will be providing in the forseable future.)

Maybe better if max_file_size_diff_for_patching is set to 1? I'm trying and it seems to work.

First, thank the developers for this awesome solution. Great idea and software, crossplatform and independent. I'm using it for many purposes. Having a server at home, the server and BTSync benefit from each other. BTsync is installed on the server, but also all other devices: smartphones, tablets, laptops and the business related computers with different share options, building a good backup solution for all these. But backup is not the primary reason for BTSync. Since the mobile devices are connected, updating the image database is automatic, scripts move the pictures around keeping the memory on the phones free and storing all on the server and big machines. The server is mainly a weather server (www.meteo.casacota.cat) connected to several weather stations around the Pyrennees building the central database for all them. With BTSync I can share the data not only via website but also bigger databases with different people interested, avoiding manual mails with attachments sending. On the other site I'm teaching in a school and dealing with many and big audiovisual files, pro semester about 20 GB, to be shared with more than 100 students. BTSync is used to share all these files, with support from an external BTSync server, https://incloudibly.com/en/syncservers to speedup sharing since the main server has a poor connection being located in the mountains with only a radio link. This makes 18 different Sync folders with about 500000 individual files and around 500 GB data. Earlier I tried other solutions like dropbox, spideroak, copy and others, but all where very slow and otherwise limiting: bandwidth, CPU and resources consumption, limited in the configuration (read-only folders are a must), BTSync addresses this all and does'nt slow down any machine, specially with unencripted TCP for NAT connections. In short, BTSyng is changing the life... thanks!

Same thing here, with lots of folders not ending, an same issues on multiple machines. Sometimes such things: Other times: In this second case, all machines have 17.5 GB uploaded, the folder size should be the stated 19.5 GB as the original folder is, and no data transfer occurs. But some machines complete the Sync, others not. The behaviour is inconsistent, with many shared folders it appears sometimes on a machine, sometimes on another one. All are sharing the same folders, some in the NAT, others on the WAN side. In the first case the folders on both sides are identical, in the second case obvioulsy not, the last 2 GB are missing. OSs are Windows XP, Macbook and other mixed, version 1.2.82
