I just started using Bit Torrent Sync to try and sync after seeing a recommendation on the OwnCloud forums
I am currently testing syncing between two machines. The first machine shows "4.0GB in 86390 files", and the second machine shows "4.0GB in 86361 files". I was concerned about the difference since I am syncing things like PortableApps and Cygwin, any missing files would probably stop things working. So I fired up WinDirStat to find where the difference was (WinDirStat's counts are accurate, I have verified them with Explorer).
It turns out all *my* files have synced ok and the difference is accounted for by incorrect counting. Here is the situation.
Machine 1
WinDirStat says 86,833 files of which 3 are in .SyncArchive
BTS GUI says 86390 files
Machine 2
WinDirStat says 86,843 files of which 13 are in .SyncArchive
BTS GUI says 86361 files
Luckily the syncing of my files is all correct! BTS version is 1.2.82.
