  1. Indexing makes PC unusable (CPU?!)

    team is always working on it :)

    See if you have any files stuck in sync queue - this is what may be forcing Sync to constantly work and  thus cause the problem. Try restarting Sync and see how memory will be increasing after that. And also increase folder rescan interval. If you have RO folders, enable "Overwrite" option. 

    Thanks, @Helen for those suggestions. I have tried and nobody was stuck in the queue. But now it seems coming a brand new issue.... Whenever I start my laptop (client), btsync does indexing all over from the beginning and download all the files from the server side though they exist already on my laptop.... Is it a new bug?

    Hi @RomanZ,

    I just noticed that there is a newer version of BTsync available (2.3.7). Just tried and here is my test report :)

    Good thing is the Idle state CPU usage has been decreased down to ~1%. I think you guys did an excellent job in fixing this. Thanks!

    There is still another problem coming. It seems to be consuming more memory usage than ever. At the idle state, it takes ~180MB of my total memory... I know memory usage is always a problem. Just curious that if anyone is working on that.

    Best

  4. [Solved] Need help for file permissions!

    Hi,

    I am encountering an issue with file permissions in my local btsync folder. All the files got synced from btsync server side have "executable" as their default ("-rwxrwx---"). That's actually a bit annoying if I want to work with git folders, since git would always report things like "changed file mode".

    I am not sure if I made my question clear enough for you guys. Does anyone have idea? I can work around this specific problem by disabling mode check in git. But still that is very weird to have all other files in my local btsync folder executable as default.

    Thanks for any help.

    Just similar problem I am encountering right now.  CPU usage frequently goes to ~30% even though the uploading speed is only 20KB/s (a lot of small files).

    I dig a bit and an old thread said that older version of btsync has no such issue. See here:

    I tried 2.2.7 and the CPU usage did go down a lot to under 10% while file transferring. Idle usage is close to 0. I do think there is something wrong with the latest version (2.3.6).

    BTW, I am running btsync on my laptop. Hardware should not be an issue.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
