  1. If they're going to block bittorrent sync, they need to block rsync too.
  2. Them calling BitTorrent Sync "Torrenting Scripts" indicates that their support and abuse monitoring staff are ignorant as to what BitTorrent Sync actually is. Sync, under proper operating conditions, for your size of a share will not actually generate high CPU load. They're probably doing something they shouldn't be. For reference, my system running sync on a celeron E3200 processor (dual core 2.4ghz) 1 [||||||||||| 9.2%] Tasks: 109, 178 thr; 1 running 2 [||||||||||||| 11.0%] Load average: 0.35 0.44 0.42 Mem[|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||3556/7959MB] Uptime: 8 days, 19:23:51 Swp[| 23/8226MB] PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command25950 nobody 20 0 209M 45772 7908 S 0.8 0.6 3:44.37 php-fpm: pool www12986 harold 20 0 749M 212M 2748 S 8.7 2.7 2h44:59 ./btsync12991 harold 20 0 749M 212M 2748 S 8.5 2.7 2h11:15 ./btsync25561 harold 20 0 20796 2432 1432 R 0.3 0.0 0:00.45 htop17598 mysql 20 0 1150M 43816 4508 S 0.8 0.5 19:34.20 /usr/sbin/mysqld --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/my.cnf12989 harold 20 0 749M 212M 2748 S 0.0 2.7 3:29.49 ./btsync24434 harold 20 0 53260 3472 1524 S 0.1 0.0 27:27.06 ./utserverThis system has a total of 4 secrets, approximately 150k files, total space over 600GB being managed. I would honestly like to see the CPU usage of the btsync executable on their offending server.
  3. Adding a folder to syncignore after it's already been synced will not cause it to be deleted. It will only cause it to stop getting/giving updates
  4. By default. There's an advanced setting to allow it to affect lan traffic as well.
  5. Are you actively synching the same folders with multiple applications that monitor?
  6. 1.3.94 isn't actually the latest, 1.3.103 is, but it's still probably a case of version mismatching.
  7. It does speed up initial synchronization but is not necessary.
  8. try the following example for ignoring entire folders: Dropbox/*Library/*
  9. killall btsync will send the proper signal to btsync as long as you don't use additional paramaters. Signal 15 (sigterm) is the proper signal to send and will trigger a graceful shutdown. Signal 9 (sigkill) will do a non-graceful shutdown of the application.
  10. As long as you send the proper signal it will stop gracefully.
  11. If you don't know the address:port combination or you have a prohibitively large number of computers to connect between, DHT would be the better option. Also, dynamic public IP address and moving devices could also cause problems without DHT.
  12. If you want a config that automatically knows the IP, use DHT and/or trackers with relay use enabled.
  13. I don't know what you've been doing different, but going to the download page for the current build (now at http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/29944- as of this post) has links that can be put into your favorite remote shell (putty for example) for use with wget.
  14. Different ports is fine Forward both TCP and UDP Traffic is encrypted anyway.
  15. The "master" device is whichever of your devices has a full access secret. Any device with a full-access secret that gets a folder deleted on it will cause that folder to get deleted on other devices.
  16. It means that you need to sync both devices to the same time server because the time difference exceeds that set in Sync. The default is 10 minutes. If they ARE synchronized to the same time server, and the times are correct, the timezone data on the two devices don't match.
  17. Are ALL the machines using full access keys? What operating systems are involved?
  18. What type of keys are you using on the computers?
  19. Assuming your computers are connecting to each other already, adding DHT won't give you any benefits. Individual files are not shared. Entire directories are. The files synchronized in your secret are NOT synchronized to computers that don't have your secret.
  20. it will use a multitude of other machines to download the files.
