  2. Btsync Desktop Build 1.3.77

    Aren't some files in .syncignore? Also, are there some files on Computer A has "0" size (these files are not counted)?

     

    You nailed it. The files from .SyncIgnore were not counted. Now I have to see what's causing the extra 3 files reported on Computer B. I am guessing the .SyncIgnore files would need to be sync'd.  ;)

    The file count that shows up in "My Sync" is wrong.

     

    It shows "51.5 Mb in 105 files" on Computer A while it shows "51.5 Mb in 108 files" on Computer B.

     

    Both computers are Windows 7 machines and are sync'd using 1.3.67

     

    And the folder has indeed 108 files, not 105.

     

    The size is correct.

     

    Moving to 1.3.77 did not fix the count.

    1.3 -- Over TCP connection is working fine and the files have begun syncing.

     

    What do the following mean (from sync.log):

     

    1. [2014-03-28 02:22:52] ###.###.###.###:####: did not pick any blocks. blocking peer temporarily

    (I have hid the IP & port with #)

    Hi RomanZ.

     

    Thanks for responding.

     

    I'm sure about #1 -- the port works and is reachable from outside world.

     

    #2, I'm not so sure since there's an ADSL router involved that I don't have access to. Plus, I'm not sure what NAT and UPNP/PMP are to be honest.

     

    I think the direct connection is intermittent because some days, randomly, a few random files sync. That's what driving me more crazy. Either it should work or it shouldn't work -- what's with the random working business? ARGH. :wacko:

     

    I'll give using tracker a shot again.

  6. Strange Sync Problem

    Hello:

     

    I'm currently using Sync v1.2.92

     

    There are 2 Windows 7 computers involved: A & B.

     

    A is behind a firewall and is on a static IP. B is also behind a firewall but is on DHCP-based ISP network.

     

    So I use A as the host. And B is primarily the back-up. It's supposed to connect to A and take a back-up whenever it switches itself on. And once in a while, if there's any activity on B, update A.

     

    On A, I have one folder shared. In "Properties" of that folder, everything is turned off except "Store deleted files in SyncArchive".

     

    On B, I have added that folder with the key. In "Properties" of that folder, everything is turned off except "Store deleted files in SyncArchive" and "Use predefined hosts" where I have provided the IP and port of A.

     

    I used a port check utility "https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2" to make sure outside world can see into A at the specified port.

     

    Now, when both machines are on, they don't sync.

     

    Sync on A even shows the IP of B in "Devices" but the Status is usually written as "U: 4.7 GB". Nothing else. The folders were sync'd once upon a time, using Sync, and the total diff is only of about 23 files worth about 25-30 MB. A few days ago, it just stopped happening. What's even more frustrating is that on random days, a few new files are sync'd -- there's no way of telling which ones would be, and when (at least I've not determined a pattern).

     

    Sync on B doesn't show A in the "Devices" list at all.

     

    The debug is enabled, but on both computers the log only shows "FFFF".

     

    There are a crazy amount of ping requests on sync.log on both computers. I even tried to enable "Use relay server when required", "Use tracker server", and even "Search DHT network" with no luck. All this resulted in was a lot more data in sync log about these services but no actual data to be transferred.

     

    Am I doing something wrong? Is there a problem with Sync? How can I fix this please?

     

    Thanks,
