Hello, we deployed BTSync 1.2.91 (i386 linux version) on 4 linux machines, 1 CentOS and 3 NAS TS-269 (linux-based operating system QTS). I noticed that on various occasions CPU load as dislayed by the top utility shows btsync running at the top with high cpu loads over 85%, often peaking to 99.9%. Some machines reached a consistent 99.9% level after about a day. When the porcessed reached 99.9%, GUI responds slowly, some synced folders appear not to be synchronized (at least in GUI) and there seem to be hanging (infinitely pending) transfers. I noticed similar behavior with version 1.2.82, where CentOS process often crashed with segfault and QTS machines as if "accumulated" load until 99.9% when they stopped working, although the process itself did not crash. Temporary solution implemented is periodical restart of btsync every two hours. After restart, btsync starts at low CPU loads (1 to 10%) and is getting busier as time passes. Before it becomes completely dead it is gracefully restarted by a cron job. Could this be answer to some of you guys who reported insanely slow download speeds? Regards, Jindrich Vavruska
