luisr Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hi,I’m successfully using BTSync on several Windows computers (Windows Server 2002, Win7, Win8 and Win8.1) with great performance and reliability, no matter using direct connection or relaying through bt cloud.My only issue is with power management, BTSync blocks laptop standby, keeping it always on no matter what power profile I’m using. I can do a manual suspend but automatic ones don’t happen, so sometimes laptop fully drains battery. Tried this on 2 different computers with same results.Is this a bug or is there any config to allow computer to suspend?Thanks for such a great product!!!LUIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bburtin Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I'm seeing the same issue. Is there no workaround? Any plans to allow Windows to suspend when there's no BTSync activity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 This is a pretty old thread... but have you tried increasing the value of the advanced "folder_rescan_interval" setting? This is currently set to 600 seconds (10 minutes), and therefore, if your system is set to go to sleep after more than 10 minutes of inactivity, it's possible that it will never sleep. The solution is to increase the "folder_rescan_interval" setting and make it longer than the period of inactivity your system is set to sleep after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilI Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I have both Win 7 and Win 8.1 laptops successfully sleeping with "folder_rescan_interval" default of 600. My sleep times are all longer than 10 minutes. BTS is pretty chatty over the net - perhaps you don't have power management enabled on your network cards? Maybe worth seeing what powercgf says is keeping you awake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
