merlinuwe Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hi, I updated my pc/servers to the latest release 1.3.93 and have a few issues. I think, they occured also in former releases. 1. The i386 Linux release runs on a hosted server with debian 6 (32 bit) and seems to change his port-number by itself, perhaps while update to a new release. 2. If I want to delete a predefined host under BSD (FreeNAS FreeNAS-9.2.1.3-RELEASE-x64), the deletion affects not to the chosen item, but to another (Chrome Browser). 3. I tested a crypted key folder. It does not sync to the Debian and another remote Windows 7 PC, but to the (local) FreeNAS. 4. I checked any items in the folders properties and defined predefined hosts, too. The Windows and FreeNAS PC have also an IP from no-ip.org. Some of my devices are connected directly, some not. (The amount of not directly connected devices changes, even when I change nothing but wait a few minutes.) 5. Do I understand correctly: If a user doesn't want to use relay, tracker and DHT, he cannot use the android or IOS apps? If I can help with logfiles or so, I would do. Nonetheless thanks for the new release. Greetings merlinwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanZ Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 @hungarianhc,BTSync can't sync apple's xattrs to one of your Unix machines. This is known issue, will be fixed in future releases, for now you can put appropriate xattrs to the .syncignore @merlinuwe,1. Please recheck, most likely an upgrade issue indeed.2. Will check in lab.3. Please share more details - how did you gen keys, where did you put them, what are the symptoms.4. Do I understand correctly that you are using dynamic names from no-ip.org? Please check if they get resolved into correct IPs.5. There is no such option for mobile apps now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is known issue, will be fixed in future releases, for now you can put appropriate xattrs to the .syncignoreGot it - I knew that, but that didn't seem to match the "hostname not found" log message, BUT... glad that's just the basic issue. As it's something that will be fixed eventually, I won't implement the workaround now. The FreeNAS box has been online for a few days without a crash... that's good - hopefully it never crashes :-). But if it does, the log output is going to a file, and I'll send that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 @hungarianhc, Great. But if something crashes - I'd prefer to get core / crash dump, as it usually contains at least a call stack which can point us to the problem location.

Also, I THINK the issue that other people, including myself, saw was that the process continued to run but was unresponsive. In any case, it's behaving just fine right now!

merlinuwe Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 @RomanZ Hi, I saw 1.3.94 is out and couldn't resist to update - and test again ... Here are my answers to your comments on my issues. 1. Yes, the problem is reproducable, but this time with btsync_i386.tar.gz (Linux 32 bit under Debian 6), and not as before with btsync_freebsd_x64.tar.gz (FreeNAS 64 bit). (The unwanted change was from port 35221 to port 47598.) 2. Only the remote Windows 7 PC is at the moment not directly connected with two different shared folders. But the same host is with an other folder directly connected (there is a sync at the moment).So I don't want to lose this pretty situation through deleting the now nearly proper configuration ... ;-)(Can you reproduce the deletion of a non choosen item?)Update: After a few hours of waiting and doing nothing than to restart bittorrent sync (!) I see, that all devices on at least 4 hosts are connected directly. BTW: the Windows 7 remote server isn't still available via ping. 3. I will test this again, so that you better can reproduce what happens. 4. One of my local hosts got a new IP from DHCP... Sorry, my mistake. Now it works with a static ip.One Windows 7 remote host is definitively on, but cannot be pinged ("Host is unreachable"). Nonetheless he gets an IP over no-ip.org (There is a special application from no-ip.org witch shows that). Is this behavior critical? At the moment, I see a direct connection to this host.Mysterious: One of my local hosts get pinged over no-ip.org - but he is shutdown... 5. I'm looking forward ... Perhaps a new issue: 6. The Upload of a 424 MB zip-File is now at 42-55 kB/s, the download at 0.3-1.4 kB/s. It started with more than 1 MB/s (16000 kB/s DSL). Why is it so slowly after a while? Thanks for your help.

mike20021969 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 There's a few options during BTSync installation. In addition, could you add entries to: 1) Not to create start menu shortcut2) Not to create quick launch shortcut Thanks. Edit - I just had a thought... it is possible to just replace the downloaded BTSync.exe direct into installation folder similar to like you can do with BitTorrent and uTorrent?

RomanZ Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 @hungarianhc,Well, AFAIK FreeBSD will automatically drop the core dump file to the same folder where the binary runs. No special settings required. @merlinuwe,For convenience, I've organized our question-answer session below for not yet addressed / answered issues. >1. The i386 Linux release runs on a hosted server with debian 6 (32 bit) and seems to change his port-number by itself, perhaps while update to a new release.1. Please recheck, most likely an upgrade issue indeed.>1. Yes, the problem is reproducable, but this time with btsync_i386.tar.gz (Linux 32 bit under Debian 6), and not as before with btsync_freebsd_x64.tar.gz (FreeNAS 64 bit). (The unwanted change was from port 35221 to port 47598.) I tried to reproduce the issue in the lab - and failed, the port does not change. There is a logic in BTSync which changes the port if it is occupied (say, previous instance of BTSync is running and bound to the port). So - how do you upgrade? I suggests checking if the port is available when you run new Sync.>2.

But the same host is with an other folder directly connected (there is a sync at the moment).So I don't want to lose this pretty situation through deleting the now nearly proper configuration ... ;-)(Can you reproduce the deletion of a non choosen item?) No, we did not reproduce it in our lab. 6. The Upload of a 424 MB zip-File is now at 42-55 kB/s, the download at 0.3-1.4 kB/s. It started with more than 1 MB/s (16000 kB/s DSL). Why is it so slowly after a while?There is a known issue with the speed in certain cases. It is very complex to debug, as it requires a special set of debugging information. We are now preparing a debugging tool for speed issues, so please follow this topic as I'll update it once tool is ready. As a quick solution I may advise turning off "low_disk_priority" advanced option as it helped people in couple of cases. @mike20021969Thanks, we'll consider your proposal for next release. However, IIRC - we don't put our icon to quick launch, do we?As for binary replacement - it should work. When you upgrade, all necessary changes to the DB and config files are done on first actual BTSync launch, not during the upgrade itself.

mike20021969 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 we don't put our icon to quick launch, do we? On XP, a quick launch icon is created. It's not a big deal to manually delete it, and even less so if simply replacing the binary works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvdata Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Minor bugIf you have Windows client, and have the preferences tab selected, then click advanced and then you don't close the "Advanced Preferences" pop up window, then in the system tray right click on the BTSync icon, and select exit the icon disappears and the Adv Pref Popup goes to "Not Responding" and you have to do a force close on the window. It seems like some miscommunication between threads/processes, but I'm not too sure of the cause but you can replicate it.lvdata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlinuwe Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hi,here is an update to this issue:---------------->1.

I hope, that the port now doesn't change while updating to the next available release. One question: Is the section "known hosts" used for every folder I share? So can I delete "known hosts" defined for every folder in the web interface?) Thanks for your attention Greetings merlinuwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 @merlinuwe,Actually I see that you use port 8888 for webui interface so it should not collide with BTSync's core listening port. Answering your question - the first one binding to the port should win. Most likely that would be core. The predefined host section goes per folder, so you actually need to duplicate it in every folder to be functioning.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

affinity Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Windows offered to download 1.3.94 automatically, but I can't find the /normal/ online links that I am used to, such as:http://syncapp.bittorrent.com/1.3.93/ Going to the expected link gives a 404 ....:http://syncapp.bittorrent.com/1.3.94/ I much prefer direct downloads that I can use wget, with the download containing the version details.

mike20021969 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 The only direct link currently is the one on this page:http://www.bittorrent.com/sync/downloads On another note, I'm suprised a dedicated topic wasn't created for the 1.3.94 version too.

affinity Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Thanks Mike. Yes, I found that link already, but the downloads are sans the version number in the file name and are not as easily gotten for simple wget. I like wget and one of the main reasons is that it usually keeps the original file date/time where the server supports it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxpoldo Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I have the same problem. The missing of the versioned download links for 1.3.94 (and the missing Geode version and the missing changelog) is the reason, I was not able to update the Linux Packages for Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/Respian. In the last days I sent several messages to RomanZ asking for the reason of that, but I got no answer :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
