  1. Does BTSync support perfect forward secrecy?

     

    The following post suggests yes, but it is kind of old and points to a security page that no longer exists:

    http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/53981/bittorrent-sync-encryption

     

    This page suggests that PFS doesn't apply since Sync doesn't use TLS:

    http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/29358-heartbleed-perfect-forward-secrecy/

     

    Is there any further information on this?

     

    Thank you,

  2. Is there a maximum number of users I can share/sync a folder with using BTSync?  I'm looking for either a hard limit (ie, BT sets a limit) or else a practical limit (ie, performance drops off dramatically when a folder is shared with more than X number of users).  I would be interested in any limits both for the Free and Pro versions.


     


    The background to my question is that we are developing a private content delivery network utilizing file sharing services, and wanted to check how scalable file sharing is with BTSync.


     


    Thank you very much for your input!
