foobar Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) I know I'm supposed to post logfiles. But before I do that, I need some clarification where the log file in linux is.I saw on this thread that it says You can find the .sync folder in the same directory where the btsync binary is located.But the binary is in /usr/bin/ and there certainly is no sync folder there (or any folder).In fact, i did a system wide search for '.sync' and nothing came up.So before I can go on and paste linux log, please let me know where to find it.I'll then email the logs! Thanks.(ps: getting speeds of anywhere from 20b/s - 500kb/s)(yes, first one is in bytes)Info:Machine A: WindowsMachine B: Linux Just got BTsync.Files are syncing from A to B, as they all originally resided in A. It's an internet connection.Download Speed: 7mbpsUpload speed: 15mbps Although I'm transferring over the internet, it's to the same IP (both machines are right here next to me, on the same WAN) Edited August 23, 2014 by foobar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 What properties do you have for the folder for what type of searches to do for peers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foobar Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 What properties do you have for the folder for what type of searches to do for peers?How do i determine this?In case it helps, below are screenshots of preferences, and folder info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 And does the linux machine have similar settings (important is the "Search LAN" function) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foobar Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yes, the search lan is on both machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 You could try using predefined hosts specifying the internal IP with the matching listen port for the other machine if something is actively blocking the local peer discovery.

I will be sync'ing from the office also, which is an external IP.Although most of the files i'll be dropping into the sync folder from the office will be small, occasionally they will be large and ideally, would like to have it sync'ed by the time i got home in case i need to finish working from home.

Harold Feit Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 That's fine as long as you leave the other discovery options enabled. This will just attempt to force you to use local communication when the computers are available locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foobar Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I understand. But isn't 500kb/s speed still slow for non local connections? or is it average/norm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 You're limited by the slow point in the stream, usually the upload speed somewhere along the way. 500kbyte/sec upload on a non-local connection is actually fairly good.
