Pharohbender Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 transfered some files to see the speeds this is what i got.getting 22Mb/s - 35Mb/s in power save mode50Mb/s in high performance mode windows network pc1 - pc2 90Mb/s any reason why btsync cant reach the same 90Mb/s no dl or ul limit set to 0disk_low_priority *falselan_encrypt_data *falsesend & recv_buf_size set to 100 use relay server when required and use tracker server not selected on both machines let me know if anyone has any more info or tips to increase speed is there anything to increase the indexing speed also?

ckp Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 When you are comparing the speed of btsync transfers to your pc-to-pc transfers without btsync, are you using the same exact files to compare the transfer rates? For example, large files may go much quicker than tons of small files. Just my two cents.My btsync transfer speed between two local Windows computers was very quick when I tried it with around 250GB of videos and photos. I only looked at average transfer rates when it was actually sync-ing the files. good question about the indexing speed. i wonder if btsync does any cpu throttling there (like with sleeping), or lets the OS use up as much as it wants? i didn't look.

Pharohbender Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 yes i was doing 1 file at a time, a 2gb file and just compared the two, speed is still good not complaining about it, its great for backing up and syncing just wanted to iron out the issue why they are so different in speed. I also have read that it does multiple files at a time, if i try to sync a folder it doesn't look like its syncing more than 1 file at a time. another interesting that it took around 2-3 mins to transfer 7gb, so it must be working pretty well. this is also just a little dlink 1gbps switch from centrecom which cost $25 connected up to my adsl router because my adsl modem is only 100mbit, so to get 90MB/s on Cat5e im pretty happy and 50MB/s on btsync is also great as it might be just the average like you said.to transfer 7gb in 2-3min cant complain. quad core htpc FTW now to pay that power bill.

RomanZ Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 @ckp BTSync isn't doing any throttling or intended delays. It runs a thread which is doing indexing - and usually bottleneck is a HDD, not a CPU. BTW, disk defragmentation might help to speed up indexing.
