z0m813 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Is this scenario possible:If I share an entire media library, can I make it so the other peer(s) can selectively sync files/folders within the library, instead of downloading all of the files.

iamjohnny Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 +1Would be a very awesome features. I don't want all of my clients sync every single file in some folders. It would be cool if you were just able to right click, select something like "Sync this file..." and from now on this very special file would get synchronized.Perfect for sharing music/videos/photos/whatever.If it's not possible via Finder (might be a problem I guess...) (or Explorer) it would be ok to just have a small interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automatic Coding Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 On top of this, I request that we can say "Download X many bytes", and, then the bittorrent protocol tries to spread the bytes out.Say I have a 10GB share, and, 10 clients saying "Download a max of 1GB", then, it'd spread 1/10th to each client so that anyone else that comes out of the woodwork asking for all 10GB could download it fine, downloading 1GB from each partial node.

Why? Because User Z does not want to turn his PC on in the next year . Of course you could change it to something like "Download a max of 2GB per peer" when you have got a 10GB share and 10 clients. I think it would only make everything more complex.The proper solution would be scheduling (including scheduled speed throttling) and some limits like "Upload max XGB per day" per client.

If I want to share between me (1TB), my friend (2TB) and my dad (500GB), my friend and I are limited to 500GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad.It sounds perfectly reasonable! Very good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
