  1. Hi, I'm part of an ArmA gaming group and we're using BitTorrent Sync to help make sure our 100-odd community members are running exactly the same versions of ArmA modifications. BTSync runs along side an old FTP-only solution for those who don't want to switch to BitTorrent Sync. Here's a diagram of what happens when somebody updates the FTP server: I'm using a program called 'lftp' to keep the FTP server and BTSync server synchronised. The problem I have is that if somebody changes the capitalisation on a directory on the FTP server, lftp is clever enough to change the capitalisation on the directory on the BTSync server. However, BitTorrent Sync decides that there must be a conflict, and it uploads the entire directory again to the Windows clients under the same name with the suffix ".conflict". Is there any way I can turn off this case-sensitivity? An obvious work-around would be to make everything on the FTP server lowercase, but that would look really ugly. Thanks.
  2. I've just been caught out by this same issue with my Z10. I realise BB10 is unsupported, but this is really disastrous behaviour - I set my phone up to synchronise with my android tablet and homeserver, saw it starting to download and then left it for an hour or so. When I came back, my phone's memory was full and my tablet's memory was full. It had turned the files it downloaded (about 500MB) into 2GB monstrosities and then uploaded those back to the other devices. It got through about 10GB of space before I caught it. Luckily, I did not have .SyncArchive turned off and was able to retrieve my files. You can imagine the trouble this could cause, however. I'm not asking for a fix - simply preventing people from installing it on BlackBerrys would suffice. Thanks.
