somebody else's file in read-only shared directory!

Today I have found somebody else's file in my read-only shared directory. I'm testing BTSync for multimedia distribution and have a few hundreds (probably) users with read-only secret. All of them got this file and asking me WTF kind of questions :(

Getting such file is extremely scary thing. First - it can potentially lead to malware delivered to all of my users, and second - if I got file from somebody by accident/mistake/collision it means - somebody else can get one of mine private files the same way!

Considering they're all asking "WTF" kind of questions, may I ask, can I have said pornographic video?

Other than that, I've yet to try out the read-only mode but I've noticed quite a few threads about how it doesn't seem to quite work, if you're using it, I recommend enabling debugging log so if anything ever goes wrong you can report it.

We already received report, so the question was more to community, I believe.

Problem is that if you enter Read Only secret for directory that contains data, this data will be added and will be distributed across peers. We know this bug and it will be fixed.

One more comment. Sync is still in Alpha and we do work hard to fix the issues.
