Helen Thanks - i added Use Predefined Hosts. - ie in the properties of the file on the receiving PC - using the source PC's IP a port value set to the Sending BT SYnc Listening Port in Preferences i restarted the BT Sync on both ends. Same result - 50% of the time it says on the Transfer tab - "Nothing is being transfer ed at the moment"

On the basis that this has taken over two weeks to get a 20 Gig file, it shows no progress, it is only transferring data half the time - I have concluded that this application is a dud I installed FTP server, waited 33 hours and had my file - simpler faster and worked very very bad experience overall

BTSync is only transferring data 50% of the time on a 19 Gig file as I have no "progress" indicator - I don't know how far this has got - but it has been running 5 days - and even at 50% rate - it should be well over any thoughts? during the on time it is 150-190 kB/s - for 60 seconds then stop during the off time it is "Nothing is being transferred at the moment" - 60 seconds I have 1.3.105 - on both Server 2012, WIn 8.1 with a VPN between them. the Device has two arrows indicating direct connect - on both computers I have set Preferences to Disk_Low_Priority to False, and Lan Encrypt to false - both ends I have set Use Relay off, use tracker off search DHT was off - on both ends - search LAN is on, Store Deleted is on I know the source end is only good for 200 kB/s and I can do FTP at this rate for hours no other use of the data bandwidth is occurring the destination end can receive at 700 kB/s I have not restarted either BitTorrent Sync Apps since doing the preference changes
