    Does anyone know the answer to this?

    Does BitTorrent Sync care about the ARCHIVE file attribute used by Windows?
  3. Bitwise
    I just performed a sync using BitTorrent Sync v1.4.110. I am 100% certain BitTorrent Sync overwrote newer files with older files. I don't have any idea why it would do this, except for a serious bug. The file dates and file contents clearly show that new files were overwitten by old versions. I had performed a backup of some of the data before enabling the sync, and the backup confirms the problem. A little more detail: I had previously used BitTorrent Sync on these folders using 1.4.9x. Only 2 computers are using BTSync and they run the Windows 64-bit version. They are on the same wireless network. Relay and tracker servers are turned off for each sync folder. I hadn't run BTSync in over a month. I upgraded BTSync to v1.4.110 on both computers. As part of the BTSync upgrade on System #1 (which had many new files), I selected the option to run BTSync after the program version upgrade. Once it was upgraded and loaded, I ran BTSync on System #2 (which I had already upgraded to the latest version). It than began to sync. Everything looked fine and appeared to run smoothly. But when I checked the files, in many cases, old versions overwote the new versions. I now have to sift through thousands of files to determine the damage BTSync caused and try to rectify as much of the damage as possible. UPDATE: I just had a full-time computer programmer verify all the above facts, and he concluded there is a serious problem with BitTorrent Sync, and that it definitely overwrote NEWER files with OLDER ones in multiple cases. This seems to be a huge problem.

    @RomanZ Perfect! Thank you!

    @RomanZ Thank you!

    @piotrnik Thanks so much! It would be great if there was an option to allow those to be turned off by default for every new sync definition.

    I always turn off relay servers and tracker servers because I am only syncing across computers on the same wifi network. From what I understand, relay servers and tracker servers don't help with that type of use. Would this slow things down at all for that type of setup?

    @RomanZ I think what itrslin is asking is: does the .sync folder need to be deleted? That's a good question. Also, anything special to delete the sync for those folders and re-establish it?

    @Romanz You're welcome. Thank YOU for all your hard work. uTorrent client is not installed (nor has it ever been).

    @RomanZ Thanks for the suggestion. I found two files with mtimes in the future. It appears that clockworkmod creates files with timestamps in the future. Can you explain a little more about why files with future mtimes will cause BTsync to exhibit this behavior? I archived both files, and now there are no files with future timestamps. BTsync did not adjust the dates in it's GUI. I restarted BTsync, but no effect. I rebooted, but still no effect. The BTsync GUI still appears as above.

    @Romanz As promised, I tested it for you. Clicking on the close button closes the balloon notification. Not clicking on it keeps it open indefinitately. No other applications exhibit this behavior.

    There is a clear problem with the Date Synced field in v1.4.103. Some say a picture is worth a thousand words and that truth is self-evident:
  13. Bitwise
    @RomanZ I will test that for you. I'm 90% sure it does, but I will have to verify.

    According to the Wikipedia article on 802.11n, it is designed to deliver up to 600mbps. Are you getting 540mbps on 600mbps routers, 270mbps on 300mpbs routers, and 145mbps on 150mpbs routers? BTSync is stating that it is delivering 3mbps on two 150mpbs routers I have tested. and under 10mbps on a 600mpbs router I tested. During testing, I disabled all other traffic on the routers. Also, during testing, I located all the equipment in the same 3mx3m test room. Can you advise? What types of speeds are others experiencing?
  15. Bitwise
    @Romanz Thanks for the clarification. @Everyone So what speed it to be expected when transferring files using BTSync from one computer to another when they are both on the same 802.11n wireless network (Wifi-n)?
  16. Bitwise
    Interesting. Thanks. It's not a VM. Does Windows queue up notifications? IOW, if BTSync, is sending too many notifications (and too fast), will Windows display the notification for a longer period of time? For example, if you ask Windows to display a notification 'Hello World' 50 times in 10 seconds, will the notification last longer than if you had asked for the name notification to be displayed just once? I'm trying to think of possible reasons why this problem might exist with BTSync, but no other applications.
  17. Bitwise
    Thanks. So it is one send and one receive buffer for the entire application? (Not one per file, transmission, folder, or something else?)
  18. Bitwise
    Thanks, Marko. By how much? Often send/receive buffers are relatively small compared to the size of the application. Are send and receive buffers allocated per file, per transmission, per folder, or something else?
  19. Bitwise
    @nickluck Thanks! What are your speeds since increasing send and receive buffers from 10 to 100? Anyone know if there are any downsides to increasing those buffers?
  20. Bitwise
    @Romanz Thanks. Not using any remote admin tools. I can't say why the problem exists, only that it does. Tried it on a fresh Win 7 SP1 install, and had the same problem. Maybe BTSync is requesting notification balloons multiple times? No other applictions having this issue.
  21. Bitwise
    What speed can one expect using BitTorrent sync? I set it up for a friend. He has 2 Win7 SP1 systems on a 802.11n wireless network. Syncing files between the 2 systems results in 3mbps transfer rates. Seems slow. Nothing else transmitting data on the network.

    When syncing, I have the system tray notification enabled. After syncing is finished, it usually does not go away. Can this be fixed? v1.4.103 on Win7 SP1
  23. Bitwise
    If a user has 'Always check for updates to this version' disabled, does this tranfer of data still occur?
  24. Bitwise
    Wow!!! That's a lot of installs! How does BitTorrent know how many installs have taken place?

    Is BitTorrent Sync Working for You?
