[Discussion: Is The 10 Folder Limit The Only Reason You Won't Be Upgrading From 1.4 To 2.0 Free?]

Yes,

 

And the fact that the Pro version is too expensive, specially if you compare it when services that give you the synchronization AND the storage for the same amount.

 

I was hopping for a "one off payment" or a 2.0 "mini-Pro" version that  for a 1/4 of the money get  gets rid of the 10 folders limitation (keeping all the other limitations)

This one post per day limit is really annoying (and apparently, doesn't really help shutting out spammers).

 

 

That is how it works. Say you have two nodes that are associated to your identity, but are behind (different) firewalls doing NAT where:

 

- There is no port forwarding set up.

- uPnP is not possible.

 

there is no way for the nodes to contact each other directly (there are other situations, such as some VPNs and DS-Lite, where relaying can kick in). Also, a thing such as:

If you don't believe me and want it from the horse's mouth, here you have it:

(Of course, this does not apply when direct peer to peer connections can be established, such as on a local network or when port forwarding can be set up on one of the two ends.)

 

Hi,

That is not how it normally works either...

You don't have to allways open the ports to stablish a P2P connection, there are many tricks to avoid to have to open the ports for having  a "direct connection". 

 

For example if  both systems have an "outgoing connection" to the "Tracker server"  most of the time you could exchange this outgoing connection details (hole in the router) for stablish directly between those two systems

PS: Meaning... the use of the relay servers is not as huge as you might think.
