tomdesinto Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I get slow downloads with the 1.2.x windows builds. If I use btsync 1.2.71 on Windows my average download speed is 10 ko/s with occasional spikes >500ko/s,while if I install back btsync 1.1.81, I get a solid 3.5 Mo/s download speed. My setup is as follow:Windows 7 64bit, Intel I7 920 + 9Go RAM hosted at homeRaspberrypi hosted at home running btsync 1.2.71Ubuntu 13.04 server Intel® Atom CPU D425 @ 1.80GHz, 2Go RAM, hosted on a datacenter, running btsync 1.2.71Ubuntu 13.04 server Intel® Atom CPU N2800 @ 1.86GHz, 4Go RAM, hosted on a datacenter, running btsync 1.2.71My home Internet connection can give me download speeds up to 2.5Mo/s. The linux x64 and ARM builds aren't the cause of the slowness as I can get good expected download rates when using 1.2.71 for all linux and ARM machines while using 1.1.81 on the windows machine.Only when the Windows machine uses the 1.2.x builds does it get slow download speed (even from the raspberrypi which is on the same LAN) Does anyone else experiences such slow speeds with 1.2.x compared to 1.1.x ?Is this a known bug ?Do you need me to try anything or submit logs to help figure out the root of the issue ? regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grongl Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I'm utterly frustrated with the latest 1.2.x builds for the same reason. My setup is two Mac Minis, one on 20/20 optics, another on 7/1 cable. Syncing a bunch of large (1GB+) files. Attached is the current BTSync upload performance on the 20/20 line. It's truly like back in dial up times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 One thing that could impact your data transfer is the relay server, which is enabled by default for every shared folder. Some also had improved transfer speed when enabling TCP for LAN only syncs, see the advanced settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway how can any of that explain such a difference between 10ko/s and 3.5Mo/s ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grongl Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Found an interesting entry in the log relating to the file that has been syncing so slowly:[20131113 00:35:54.312] Torrent /Volumes/bunch of folders/filename.sup status:137 error:<NULL> meta:1 conns:1 io:0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonCamilo Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Same here,I changed from 1.1.86 to 1.2.68 and everything slowed down to a crawl. 2 Win7 64bits & 1 Win8.1 64 bits connected on LAN. A whole day to sync 8 GB on a Gigabit network. It was ultra-fast before with 1.1.86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergey@bt Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks for the logs. We found the issue. The low speed is caused by infinite indexing and high disk activity. It happens in some cases after upgrading read-only folder from 1.1 to 1.2. We will provide fixed build shortly. As a workaround, re-adding read-only folder should fix it.

tomdesinto Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 That is great news. I won't apply the work around and wait for the new version. That way I will be able to confirm the fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergey@bt Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Please try build 1.2.73. It should be fixed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdesinto Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 1.2.73 does fix the issue described above. That was a impressively fast fix. Great work guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvargem Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hi.This version has improved things a bit on my side, I mean, the transfer speed increased from 80kBs to 115Kbs, but I still find that quite slow.It's about 10% of the network upload capacity where I currently am.The download transfer speed on the target machine location is much higher that this.

smoothmoose Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hi there, I've had slow LAN transfer (<20kB/s) on v1.1.8.x and now v1.2.73 as well. I am syncing between two LAN machines, one running Windows 8.1 and the other Windows 7. I have tried playing the LAN TCP, encryption, and the relay server, but doesn't seem to make any difference.
