fongaboo Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 We are trying to sync two Macs across a Gigabit wired LAN. Here are the settings. Not sure why we are maxing out at 160 KB/sec?? I've tried disabling encryption-over-LAN. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moe Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Are the two peers able to talk to each other directly or are they both going through a relay? What kind of files did you try syncing? What version of OS X and BitTorrent Sync are you running? Any special things about your setup? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The two Macs are plugged into the same Ethernet wall jack and are one number off on their LAN IP. Transfers are occurring between the two, albeit at a crawl. The screenshot shows that I've disabled use of a relay server, because 1) I don't think there's any reason to traverse our gateway and 2) otherwise all sorts of alarms go off on my IT staff's monitoring software because it sees a bittorrent exiting the gateway. 10 minutes ago, Moe said: What kind of files did you try syncing?

Moe Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 There is no screenshot. Also if you are running on a company network there could be traffic shaping rules that apply for the BitTorrent protocol. Also there is a new version of BitTorrent Sync which is 2.3 - would you be able to install that or are there any reasons you are still running 1.4? What kind of folders are your shares? I see it is a volume - is it a network folder that you are sharing using Sync? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Helen Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 fongaboo, I see that the folder is "Out of sync", and that low speed is not the "slow speed" problem, but rather "files not sync" problem - there is somethings that causes files to stuck, a number of reasons actually. That Hotspots folder indeed looks like a network share, so there might be lack of permissions or slow disk read/write pace among the reasons . Needs log analysis. Also, is there a reason why you stick with 1.4? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
