mdwittenberg Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm having severe issues using the latest build (1.2.82) of BitTorrent Sync on my Mac running OS 10.6.8. Is it possible for me to download a previous version of the application? Thanks, Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Sync 1.2.82 is the latest and most stable "beta" build currently available, so it's not really advisable to run earlier beta builds. Perhaps if you outline what your "severe issues" are, folks here in the forum may be able to help?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwittenberg Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Well, my problem is that upon launching BT Sync 1.2.82 my network screeches to an halt. Although BT Sync shows healthy up and down transfer speeds, none of the other devices can use the network. While I do not have any technical diagnostics to prove this behavior, it seems clear to me that it is most certainly BT Sync causing my network problems -- when I quit BT Sync my network quickly goes back to normal. Furthermore, these problems seemed to have began immediately following the update. As with most software (especially betas), I think it's reasonable to provide past builds. I'm having these issues and I'd like to see if the issue is present is past versions as well or if it is something specific to 1.2.82.

GreatMarko Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Sounds like it's an issue with your network/router unable to handle the amount of traffic that Sync is causing. There are a few things you can do to ease this, including:Limit the upload/download rates that Sync can useChange the setting of "lan_use_tcp"Set "rate_limit_local_peers" to "true"Disable the per-folder "Search LAN" setting As with most software (especially betas), I think it's reasonable to provide past builds. I'm having these issues and I'd like to see if the issue is present is past versions as well or if it is something specific to 1.2.82. Cheers, Mitch Actually, this is not the case with "Beta" software - the developers want you to use the latest Beta builds so that any bugs can be found & fixed. If you find a bug in an earlier build, the advice from the developers would almost always be to update to the latest beta build and try and replicate your issue there, as it may be that the bug you've encountered has since been fixed. For this reason, links to past beta builds are generally not promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwittenberg Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks GreatMarko for your patience and advice -- following your advice to the letter, BT Sync now disturbs my network far less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
