Sawyer007 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Is it possible? Even dropbox can be installed easy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hmmm... I've not tried installing on a limited user account on Windows, however, you might run into problems allowing BitTorrent Sync through the Windows firewall, as this usually requires Administrative privileges.

eseelke Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 You can't install it without admin rights, but you can install it in a non-admin account. You will need to input your admin password to install or run it. But, as long as you check the "Start BitTorrent Sync when Windows Starts" box, it will run each time non-admin user logs in.

Sawyer007 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Well yeah to bad. There shouldnt be a problem I mean utorrent runs just fine without admin.So does dropbox which is a greta solution if it had no cloud. However I found now AeroFS which is a dropbox copy without the cloud which should also do the trick. Maybe in the future non admin install could be considered?

The techniques that BTSync uses to NAT Punch work just as well on the windows firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer007 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Just so you know I got it working like this and it starts up just fine without admin requests and sync with full internet upload seed of 20Mbit.http://forum.bittorr...app-on-windows/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
