kirill.kovalenko Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I have a VHD image file where I keep some of my data. The file size is 4 GB.Last week I made the initial file synchronized between 3 PCs. Today, I added a couple of files to that VHD, and now after re-scanning btcsync wants to re-synchronize the whole 4 GB of data.Is it an expected behavior? I don't know why, but I expected that in case of big files only parts that have changed would be transferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergey@bt Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Did it start to transfer your VHD file? Sync should transfer only changed blocks. But before it starts the transfer, it does not know how much it should download/upload and UI shows full file size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Is it an expected behavior? I don't know why, but I expected that in case of big files only parts that have changed would be transferred.Please see "When a file changes, does BitTorrent transfer the entire file again, or just the part that's changed?" in the Unofficial FAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
