Are the files in use on the main computer?
-
Is it actually showing file transfer on the transfers tab or not?
-
If they're going to block bittorrent sync, they need to block rsync too.
-
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. -
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
-
Does the problem persist with .106?
-
By default. There's an advanced setting to allow it to affect lan traffic as well.
-
Do you have devices on the same lan?
-
Got PS3 linux installed?
-
Are you actively synching the same folders with multiple applications that monitor?
-
1.3.94 isn't actually the latest, 1.3.103 is, but it's still probably a case of version mismatching.
-
It does speed up initial synchronization but is not necessary.
-
try the following example for ignoring entire folders:
Dropbox/*Library/*
-
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.
-
As long as you send the proper signal it will stop gracefully.
-
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.
-
If you want a config that automatically knows the IP, use DHT and/or trackers with relay use enabled.
-
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.
-
Different ports is fine
Forward both TCP and UDP
Traffic is encrypted anyway.
-
What version does that pi repository have in it?
-
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.
-
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.
-
Are ALL the machines using full access keys?
What operating systems are involved?
-
What type of keys are you using on the computers?
Question Re N-Way Sync
in Sync General Discussion

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.
