twynne Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm looking for a way to pause syncing when I'm away from home on a mobile broadband/mifi connection as I have limited data allowance. My feature requests, in order of preference: 1. Add the ability to pause BitTorrent Sync using Applescript. If this existed I could use my existing scripting mechanism to pause when away and resume when I return home.2. Add a 'Pause syncing' menu item to the main BitTorrent Sync application menu bar (at present it's only in the menubar extra, and I can't find a way to control that via Applescript) My current solution for this is to quit the entire application when I'm away, then launch it again when I'm at home.

kramttocs Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Great idea. Rather than Applescript though how about an optional whitelist of ssid's? Link to post Share on other sites
twynne Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 That would work too, with the benefit of working cross platform as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Moe Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I use Little Snitch for that purpose and I highly recommend it!It is not "pausing" BitTorrent Sync but rather denying, on a rule basis, if it lets traffic in or out your computer.BitTorrent Sync will act like it doesn't have a connection and so you can keep BitTorrent Sync out of the network traffic when you are in a location where you shouldnt use P2P protocols Link to post Share on other sites
palobo Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'd like to add support for this option too. Link to post Share on other sites
