rtrpm-bittorrentsync Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hi, I have an install of BitTorrentSync on a Win8.1 workstation and since installation my synced folder has always displayed 'in 18 years' in the Date Synced column. When I hover over this field it displays 'Sep 11 2032 9:40 PM'. I've attached a screen shot. As I say, its been like this since installation and removing and re-adding the folder doesn't help. I haven't tried re-installation just in case it needs investigation by the developers. Anyway, anyone else have this problem? Any solution gratefully accepted! Thanks. Mike. Version 1.4.103 Beta (check returns Client version is up to date). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 @rtrpm-bittorrentsyncThere are some files in your sync folder that have invalid modification time (18 years ahead). Please find the file(s), fix the mtime and re-add the folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrpm-bittorrentsync Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yes, thank you for your fast response, you are right - although they are difficult to find in my case because there are 69000 files in this shared folder! But, on one workstation (running under WinXP and IE8, therefore using a web browser front end) I don't have the same problem sync date. Probably because the files originated from there maybe? They still have the same mod times tho. However, besides this being the cause, why does the Date Synced not just display the date it was last synced? The file mod times should surely be irrelevant?

mrmachine Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Indeed... The mtime shouldn't make a difference to the date synced... In my case it says "in 21 years" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmachine Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I even searched for and updated all files with future timestamps, and then restarted BitTorrent Sync, and it still says 21 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
