Investigated this some more. Discovered that if you rename the file or folder after the file has been copied, then reslio doesn't have the lock issue. Also (strangely) it seems that if multiple files were copied (or perhaps because I was using XCOPY /S) then the problem doesn't occur. So, I have modifed my uTorrent script that copies the files so that if it is a 'single' copy it will add a "+" to the folder name (then remove after the copy is complete). If it is a "multi" copy (i.e. a set of multiple files and/or folders) that is not necessary. Just in case it is useful to someone, here's the code from the script that is triggered by uTorrent each time the status of a download changes. Once the download is complete, the files are copied to a reslio folder. I have confirmed this works with Reslio 2.5.2 running on Win 7 SP1 REM %4 is status, value 5 is seeding (i.e. we have the entire file) REM %3 is the name; either of a single file or a folder with multiple files) SET sDestination=D:\SynchedMedia\Video IF %4 == "12" echo %DATE% %TIME%: %3 is queued for download >> "%sDestination%\uTorrentStatus.txt" IF %4 == "6" echo %DATE% %TIME%: %3 is downloading >> "%sDestination%\uTorrentStatus.txt" IF %5 == "multi" goto foldercopy REM We append the "+" to the start of the file name so we can then change the filename back later... IF %4 == "5" ( echo D |xcopy %2\%3 "%sDestination%\"+%3 ) REM Renaming the file works around a problem Resilio Synch has with the file lock; below we are removing the "+" we added before ren "%sDestination%\"+%3 %3 goto donecopy :foldercopy IF %4 == "5" ( echo D |xcopy %2 "%sDestination%\"%3 /S ) :donecopy IF %4 == "5" echo %DATE% %TIME%: %3 has been copied to %sDestination% >> "%sDestination%\uTorrentStatus.txt" REM The End

Thanks Helen; although that's useful to know it doesn't really help in my situation, as the machine needs to operate unattended. Good to know that your team is aware of the problem - do you have any idea when it may be resolved? In the interim, would you be able to post a link to the older version (2.3.8) which others report works? (I really want to be be able to evaluate before purchasing the 'Pro' version and migrating away from DropBox, but need this to work. I'd prefer not to download from one of the 3rd party sites which might have 'dodgy' versions..... -Steve

Anyone have a solution to this? I have the exact same issue: - Resilio Synch 2.5.2 (966) Home running on Windows 7 Home Premium, 32Bit Sp1 Files are downloaded by µTorrent. Once the download is complete, the file is copied by a script (using XCOPY) to another location, which is synched with Resilio. Reslio reports the file is locked, and will not sync it. Lock is shown as never released If you stop/start Reslio it then no longer shows the file as locked, but does not sync it (even though it indicates all files are synced). File never makes it to the other machines. If the exact same task is performed using a manual copy (in Windows Explorer) the file will sync OK. If the destination is a Dropbox folder, sync works perfectly (been using the script to do this for a couple of years) This issue is a show stopper; if no solution is available in the current release, then I'd like to try the older version (I see a comment this worked ok in 2.3.8). Is this available as download from Reslio's web site? Hoping someone has a solution.... -Steve
