  1. As you add machines to the sync, their bandwidth and filesets are added to the available pool to pull from. Depending on the class of connection, you may hit other limits before you hit your bandwidth limit (random seek times on your storage device for example)

    It may not get files from all computers simultaneously, but it WILL get multiple files from multiple machines.

  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)

    This 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. 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.
