frater Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 To do the magic with the keys out still needs servers from bittorrent. Of course we trust you, but.... For some applications I would like to use btsync where I want to control all the communication. What software do I need to run on my server to do the stuff that's now being done by bittorrent?

nils Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Disable relay and tracker and enable predefined hosts per share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frater Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Disable relay and tracker and enable predefined hosts per share.I believe the Windows and Android client don't support it. Is that correct?If I have 5 devices to sync is it enough to let them all connect to one server? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peva3 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Windows does, Android and iOS do not (yet). *thinking out loud hypothetical situation* If you were connecting to a sync that relied on manual IP relays and you tried to sync on Android/iOS (and you were on an IP that was whitelisted) would it work? Or do the mobile apps exclusively use DHT and UPNP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolcat Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 *thinking out loud hypothetical situation* If you were connecting to a sync that relied on manual IP relays and you tried to sync on Android/iOS (and you were on an IP that was whitelisted) would it work? Or do the mobile apps exclusively use DHT and UPNP? UPNP has nothing to do with peer exchange. It is a miserable system to manage port forwarding with NATs.I would think DHT and local peer exchange is less suitable for mobile devices. DHT is supposed to be broadcasted to every 15 minutes, local peer exchange every 5 minutes. I wouldn't want my mobile device to waste cycles on sending out that info that often. Besides I would rather have the phone connect to the peers than the other way around (bandwidth saving).If you have the IP of at least one node then it can be used, so there is no need for the tracker for 5 people. If you could add the IP of one node to the iPhone/android app then it would work. I would find it usefull if I could specify a list of prioritized peers for my phone, most likley it will be able to saturate its internet connection by just connecting to my VPS or my fileserver. Using bandwidth on probing other peers is pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman42ca Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Disable relay and tracker and enable predefined hosts per share. Just to make sure I understand. If I make this configuration change, does that mean BTSync will no longer transfer the files through the internet (consuming my monthly bandwidth allowance) and will be able to keep all the transfers local within my wireless network? I don't need to sync with devices outside my house so if BTSync can work completely within my local network, that would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
