Is Sync Supposed To Be Instant?

I've currently got about 2TB of data synced up (almost) across a gigabit network, and 2 NAS boxes.

 

When I move files from one location to another, does the sync clients on the other end, move like the Linux mv command, or does the data copy and paste across the network, even though all that happened is that it changed location?

 

When I attempt this, it seems like moving files to a different location inside the same sync directory makes the entire contents copy and paste across the network, when in reality, all it had to do was move the contents on the remote side to the same location.

 

I'm running BTSync 1.4.93 on both ends.

1.4 has advanced mechanism of detection of moved files, so if file movement happens within same sync folder - it should not be resent, but moved instead.

 

I tested it in my lab - it seems to be working fine with no extra transfers over network. Can I get your logs and the name of affected file to track down what happens?
