gurkesaft Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I can NOT seem to confuse this program! I have moved huge amounts of data in and out of the shared folder, shuffled things around, lost and recovered data. Incredible.I also noticed that, while there is a 13 GB queue to download (first sync of one device), when I changed a small file, it immediately propagated to the other computers during the big sync.I don't know how you guys programmed the priorities, but it's amazing that I don't have to wait for the big sync to finish before little "current" events get processed.Great work!

gurkesaft Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 It seems to be rocket science for most sync software. The usual behavior I'm used to is get confused for some reasonstart a gigantic resync loop over everythingnew small changes have to wait 4 days, provided another ubersync doesn't start againI feel like most sync software out there is just barely working.

gurkesaft Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I don't think even dropbox does this; I recall several occasions waiting for a big sync to finish so my recent files would update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyTheSaint Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I can NOT seem to confuse this program! I have moved huge amounts of data in and out of the shared folder, shuffled things around, lost and recovered dataDid you move or delete folders that have subfolders without the outer folder reappearing?

gurkesaft Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hah, just had that happen to me.I wouldn't call this "confused". What I mean by "confused" is "files not syncing indefinitely". BTSync so far has always recovered from all the weirdness I've accidentally imposed. For me, the folder thing falls more under the category of "cute"."Awwww, you're trying so hard to sync while I move stuff around!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmow Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Dropbox has done this forever. I don't like Dropbox, just sayin'.Other sync apps, like Insync and AeroFS don't do it though. Exactly...just frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
