zylorian Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Hello all, As I am currently under the impression that this is not a current feature (as opposed to being a bug), I request that one have the option to preserve timestamps. This is important for several reasons: 1. I use it for sorting items in folders based on timestamps regularly. 2. (I believe) that synchronization and clobbering is chosen based on newest timestamp. Though even if BTSync doesn't use it, other programs (e.g. Filezilla) do. 3. I am attempting to sync >100,000 files > 50 GB, and for some reason, even when both computers are behind the same router, the transfer rate drops to ~100 KB/s (starts around 800 KB/s), leading me to believe that the transfer is going beyond the router (smells like the usual ISP throttling...). For this reason and the timestamp issue, I will first use Filezilla to perform the initial copy (which does preserves timestamps), then use BTSync to keep them synchronized. Of course, I would prefer to use only one program, but for free software, one can only ask for so much... In case this is actually a bug, my info is:Computer 1: Windows 7 Pro x64, BTSync 1.3.105Computer 2: Windows 7 Pro x64, BTSync 1.3.105 Edited June 13, 2014 by zylorian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 @zylorian I suggest posting your wish to feature requests forum to make sure it is not lost. As for issue #3 - we are preparing 1.4 release, which contains a numerous fixes towards sync speed as well as a tool to analyze possible speed issues. Once released many issues with speed are going to be addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
