  1. On mac, it can take up to 10 minutes because the code to handle notification on file change isn't the easiest to manage.
  2. http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/12658-if-you-have-syncapp-issue/
  3. What specific version of Sync are you using?
  4. It's a limitation caused by apple. We can't automatically add files to camera roll (last I heard).
  5. The sync of files happens when two or more devices assigned to the secret are connected at the same time. There is no central server for storage provided by us at this time. I am not currently aware of plans to offer servers by us.
  6. Last modified. Based on what? Sync will actually show a transfer arrow until the indexing completes and is compared. The files on both ends are hashed in semi-standard bittorrent fashion (segmented hashing with segment size based on total file size) and if the hashes are identical on both sides, the files won't actually be transferred.
  7. That error says that the executable hasn't been extracted yet or you're trying to run it from the wrong location.
  8. 1> All timestamps are normalized to GMT 2> That's being worked on.
  9. Is there any program ACTIVELY using the files in your sync folder when this happens?
  10. Not really. The drive has the highest amount of wear duing spin down and spin up. A drive that is constantly going at its full speed will not wear down as much, since it's easier for the motors to keep the drive going than it is to bring the drive up to speed from a full stop,
  11. Windows doesn't have case sensitivity at a layer where it would actually prevent some of the problems caused by having two otherwise identically named files with different cases.
  12. Honestly, a drive constantly spinning and not going to sleep will last longer.
  13. Are you completely shutting down the computer before you leave one network and go to the next or are you just putting your computer into sleep mode?
  14. Touch will cause the file to be re-indexed. Hashsums will be exchanged on a file re-index. If the hashsums match, no additional data will be transferred.
  15. Already implemented in the insiders prerelease version.
  16. Sounds like a firewall on one network or the other is poorly configured and is blocking the traffic actually.
  17. Where are you running your btsync executable from? Not really, since files and directories that start with a period are hidden by default in ALL linux distros. ls -la in the directory you run sync from.
