Few simple questions

 

1. Is BitTorrent Sync a real P2P connection without any outside server in the middle ? 

 

2. Does BitTorrent inc keep any data that being transferred if there are servers in the middle of connections?

 

3. How long the data will be kept on BitTorrent's server / relay server ?

The "server in the middle" you're talking about only comes into play if:

1> the setting is turned on to use relays AND it's not possible to get a direct connection between the peers

2> the setting is turned on to use tracker servers.

If you tell BitTorrent Sync to not use outside servers, it won't use outside servers.
