Bgregster Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have a bunch of notifications (like about a hundred) over the last hour in HISTORY, that say Sync has Finished syncing. But at the same time it is transerring data from the source PC an telling me it will take 5 days to complete at 204.7 KB/s bit rate. So my questions are: what does Finished syncing... indicate? and doesn't 5 days seem slow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remirus Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Bgregster, it means that Sync stopped transferring data, synchronization cycle is complete. It doesn't mean that all files really have been transferred. Peers might disconnect from each other (or lose connection for a while), some files can be busy by another process so Sync doesn't touch files for some time and there can be another reasons. What is the size of the shared folder? Is it about 500Gb or more? Or just 6Gb? Maybe Sync will transfer it with better speed and you don't need to wait 5 days.

Bgregster Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Thanks for that - the folder is 40GB and still saying 3-5 days. I guess that is due to bit rate? Not sure if I should expect faster than 300/400 KB/S? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remirus Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Bgregster, thank you for clarification. For 300-400KB/s Sync should download it for 29-38 hours if peers don't disconnect from each other, for 200KB/s it is 58 hours. Probably UI doesn't update remaining time so fast and probably the speed is different or peers disconnect from each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
