Jaman42 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Sorry about the topic, but I can't quite explain what I mean in few words so I thought it's better to do an example. As you might find out in a bit I am not very familiar with how bt sync works. Lets say I have a server which I want as the source (write access) Then I have 10 devices (read only) that should get synced to match the source. These 10 different devices have different download speeds. As soon as a file on one of the 10 devices get synced, does it start to "seed" to the other 9 devices enabling them to sync faster using both the server and the other device as source? Hope that makes sense to someone who understand how it works Thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaman42 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Thanks for the swift reply. Do I need to set up any port forwarding on the devices for this to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Do I need to set up any port forwarding on the devices for this to work? Not if your router supports UPnP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaman42 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Ah I see, that is practical. I am gonna try it out. Thanks for answering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fogbav Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 But it will not really do the sync in an efficient way - because superseeding is still not implemented in btsync : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-seeding 8( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
