alleyoopster Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I have read through the recent posts on slow speeds and WAN and couldn't find a solution to this one. I have a Linux server in US that is syncing to a desktop in South Africa. My old method of transfer is SFTP where I was getting speeds of 440kBs. I am on a 4MB connection this end so that was as good as it gets. Using btsync I see occasional peaks of 100kBs, but mostly it is between 20-60kBs. I have the 2 arrows in the web interface. Listening port open on both machines. I can max connection on torrent traffic on the desktop with a normal torrent client. The files sizes are generally around 20-30MB I just tried with unison the same files and have max speed. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleyoopster Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I ended up using Unison which is working well. I just used inotify to kick of unison in a looping script. Maybe I'll check back here later and try it btsync again to see if this problem gets solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvargem Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I have the same problem.BTSync caps at 115kB's, which seems quite slow.It's around 10% of the network upload capacity where I currently am.The download transfer speed on the target machine location is much higher that this.

alleyoopster Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I have the same problem. Maybe your ISP is limiting torrent traffic. Are you ports open and can you download torrents at full speed in a bittorrent client? Does the btsync web interface show the two arrows?

jvargem Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yes I see two arrows in BTSync Interface.Using uTorrent sometimes I get download speeds approaching 2MB, so I don't think it is the ISP.The funny thing is that it never goes over 115 kB/s over WAN, but most of the time it's much slower than that.
