  1. I have had several licenses for years and was already using BTsync. As the current software no longer runs cleanly and reliably on the advancing Linux, Windows and Android platforms, as I can only work with a fully reliable package on all these devices, I was forced to use the competitor's product, which has the same P2P concept.

    In addition, monthly updates for all platforms, with beta versions for interested users in between, works perfectly and is free of charge.

    Resilio brought this on itself, I was a paying user.

  2. Resilio Sync since March 2022 and thus now for 2 years still is on v2.7.3 and Resilio Connect now is on v3.8.2.2285 (18/March/2024). Maybe the maintainers of Resilio can comment on what the strategy is for the future with Sync. I have a personal but all too obvious opinion and as a multiple licensee I am not pleased.

  3. Since so far the people at Resilio don't leave comments on anything that's here in terms of questions and hints, you can assume that no new version will be coming, at least for now. So you can only work with the current version as long as it runs without errors.

    I recommend you to look around in parallel, because if the current version will not run anymore, you already have a solution.

  4. Prio have Connect and not Sync. Connect is commercial and Sync is both community and commercial and in the same way the interest is not high on Sync. I have also licenses but also no updates. If you look at the follow statistical value, it show the last version more or less frozen:

  5. In which way you have a directly comparision? With a similar software?

    However, it must be borne in mind that transmissions depend on a lot of influences, especially over the internet. The transmission can only be as good as the smallest bandwidth in the overall connection, which is also used by other people and data transmissions.

    And, of course, Resilio takes its own use of this residual bandwidth for transmission, and since Resilio is usually quite reactive and fast in establishing and managing connections, this can also play a role. Better statements can only be made through comparative tests.

  6. As you can see in the table, the only difference as "Small Business" is priority support if you open a ticket and the possibility to run a Server variant of the software and anyway you have no shorten update cycle as all other license models of Sync. Same situation as for me as owner of different pro licenses.

  7. As far as I know, there is no difference between free and paid versions. However, it must be borne in mind that transmissions depend on a lot of influences, especially over the internet. The transmission can only be as good as the smallest bandwidth in the overall connection, which is also used by other people and data transmissions.

    And, of course, Resilio takes its own use of this residual bandwidth for transmission, and since Resilio is usually quite reactive and fast in establishing and managing connections, this can also play a role. Better statements can only be made through comparative tests.

  8. Overall, this is almost correct, except for the update policy. The software works without restrictions on servers, where the progress in technologies is partly not so big. However, in the device area it looks different and the forum is basically full of them. It's just that even from update to update not all bugs are taken care and that's sad. I had a few problems myself, e.g. a Windows service that could only be installed by good coaxing, the Android APP that does not start or maybe only after a reinstallation.

    There are other known bugs that I have not had to experience now. But it is also clear that the already very good software base v2.7.2 from before 2020 was already burdened in this respect and yet almost 2 years have passed until v2.7.3 and yet there are bugs in it. Do not misunderstand, of course, every software has its errors and bugs, but it is worked on in detail and with minor updates these are worked out. This is the right way and so does Syncthing.

    You are of course right with the ignore lists, from a function like selective sync to want to make, but there is actually a plug-in, which manages this. For local copies Resilio is clearly ahead, I want to replace that and do not want to use Resilio there, the 2nd Syncthing instance is a reliable facility. People are creative with things like this.

    I already made posts years ago in this forum that Resilio may move and force updates, as they can only have advantages overall. Besides, some of the problems also exist because of advances in operating systems, which is another reason for updates at least once every six months. Then, once you understand that Resilio is focusing on the Connect payed software, it is understandable from a business point of view. If one has noticed that Sync and Connect still had the same engine in 2020 with v2.7.2 each, but today in 2023 Sync v2.7.3 and Connect v3.5.1 is up to date, everyone can think the own part. I have multiple licenses for Sync, so I want to feel like I'm in good hands and that I haven't paid for something that I have to watch every day to make sure it's running. If Sync was only Free, it would all look a little different.

    Well then, as of BTsync I am a convinced user of this software, for several years with the above limitations. But today therefore also convinced user of Syncthing on Linux servers, Windows computers, Linux computers, Androiddevices. We will see.
