Jx7 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hi,Here's my setup:BTSync is installed on my Synology NAS 1812+ and on a Linux. Sync is done aver Internet.I use BTSync to get files from the Linux machine to my NAS so I use the read-only key.My Internet speed connection is about 600kB/s and I usually see this speed in BTSyncbut since yesterday I can only see 30~40kB/s ! This is very very slow...I tried to download by FTP the files that are syncing and it was a normal speed (~600kB/s).I tried to restart BTSyncon the two sides but still the same...I've just installed BTSync, while I love the idea I'm having a bit of a speed issue.I don't know what to do, any help is appreciated.

Camaban Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 What range of file sizes?IE: Is it lots of little files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jx7 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Not only but yes, there is some folders with a lot of files between 200kB and 4MB.You think I should tar folders before sync them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kos13 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Sync just can't get to a maximum on small files. Try something bigger like 100 Mb files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jx7 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I tar all the folders with a lot of little files and it's OK. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camaban Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Probably worth remembering that once the initial sync is done it's done.Then it's only the new stuff, which unless you're adding vast wads of files will take no time at all.

fukawi2 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'm seeing similar behaviour, but with big files....I have a raspberry pi syncing movies from my Synology NAS... The NAS recognizes that there's 391.3 GB in 1559 files, but the sync has been going for over 24 hours now and the pi still only has 48.3 GB in 56 files synced.Is this possibly because of the fairly low CPU specs on both ends?EDIT: just to clarify, both boxes are on the same LAN with gigabit connectivity.

fukawi2 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Valid point RE the Pi's 100mb The Synology doesn't have htop, but currently has a load avg of 307 Having said that, other machines (Windows 7) have synced the same files fine (in the same time period)htop for the Pi is here: http://i.imgur.com/43nz3wP.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camaban Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Are your other devices syncing between themselves as well?They should be, but if they haven't started to do that for whatever weird reason, it might explain it..Nevermind, misunderstood how you phrased that.So the Windows boxes have a full sync, but the Pi is outstanding?

fukawi2 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 So the Windows boxes have a full sync, but the Pi is outstanding?Correct.The Synology and the W7 machine are fully sync'ed, both are syncing to the Pi, but extremely slowly... It's now at 84.6 GB in 183 files, so since I posted that means only ~36gb in ~17 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
