clrader Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I've been using Resilio for years on different machines with little to no problems, this latest update seems to have added a lot of instability. I've tried re-establishing the SHARED FOLDERS from Scratch but I still get inconsistent behavior in some but now all shared folders. When new files are placed in some but not all shared folders won't add those files but the hosting computer with the added file shows STATUS of a green check mark. The client Resilio Sync computer gives me this error. Any ideas of fixes. This same host computer is able to sync other folders successfully to the same client computers on the same day. The internet is strong and consistent at both machines and the file sizes are single files of less than 5mbs. Has me stumped. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardlewisx Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Hi, I have found that using 2.6.0 will give that problem on all rigs that have that version. I downgraded to my previous version 2.5.13 - which has got rid of the problem. Can't find a way of downloading a previous build from the resilio website so hence why my older version is very old!

Frank Maier Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I have the same issues with 2.6.0 and wrote a mail to the support yesterday. In my case resilio doesn't even show the affected files, the list loads infinitely. Seems to be a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoyce Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I guess you guys need to wait, but I am sure they are fixing it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkmac Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I am seeing the same issue under 2.6.1 I am debating about downgrading back to 2.5.13 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrader Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 2.6.1 seemed to make it better but didn't fix the issue which leaves me still not being able to trust the sync anymore. Has anyone tried SYNCTHING? I hate to downgrade Resilio Sync then have to put up with pop ups to update and never know what version is going to fix this problem. I would be nice if you could backup all of your sync folders before you downgrade but the process of resyncing all folders takes me forever. I wish they'd address this major issue.

Frank Maier Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Have you sent them your bug report? I did so, and as you see, they addressed the issue. But probably only fixed a part of the issue. So report the bug and they'll fix it. It's your decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaridS Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 I have the same problem with 2.6.1. It used to work fine but now it doesn't Sync some of the files with the same message as: On 9/4/2018 at 8:34 PM, clrader said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaridS Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 I just submitted a report, Hope they can fix it. My free version worked fine. I bought the Pro version last week and now I have this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimwulf99 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I submitted a bug report but they didn't understand what the issue was. I can't seem to have all files show up. They keep saying that it's a file that was created with a timestamp in the future but it doesn't. I never had this issue until recently. I'm considering downgrading. What version was still stable for all of you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgerskup Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 I'm having the exact same problem. Downgrading one of my client machines back to 2.5.13 and re-adding the shares didn't cause the missing files to sync. Is there any way to downgrade the version on my "host" machine and preserve the existing shares? The only thing I've found so far that works is to manually open and re-save the files (or rename them), which causes Resilio sync to now "see" them and start syncing. Edit: This appears to be the specific error in the log file: Quote [2018-10-18 09:13:07.257] FC[3507]: won't forcibly index file "[Path & File Name]" - doesn't exists locally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was reported before in 2.6.0 and instead of treating it like a critical bug, they released 2.6.1. And then when it was obvious they installed to the wrong directory and upgrades are failing, that will be their on-fire bug they need to fix for the next release as a higher priority. I asked for a workaround to this in the 2.6.1 thread and got no response. It's clear something happened with their developers or QA as I see night and day difference from yester years. In the time it took to write this point, I had another 3 files get this problem. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer my own question, I was successfully able to downgrade to 2.5.13 by uninstalling and not checking "remove settings". I then re-installed using the 2.5.13 executable, launched the program, and all of the shares were still intact. This appears to have solved the problem with certain files choosing not to sync (though I can't be certain, yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave3 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'm having the same issue as well. This is a critical/urgent issue because this is a loss of core functionality of syncing files. Developers, please acknowledge and fix ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak Kriss Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Same Problem here: Since version 2.6.X core functionality is basically gone, since a lot of folders not in sync anymore. This is super critical! @Resilio Support Forum Please advise! p.s. as a temporary solution I replaced the problematic Resilio Sync folders with Syncthing folders. Any other solution would be great too. Edited November 9, 2018 by Pak Kriss Update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Given that this bug would have been treated as a showstopper bug by any other QA manager, and still not addressed almost 3 months later (I reported it at least Aug 17), it might be time to move to alternate sync solutions. I suspect that they are not getting the kind of revenue to properly support QA and do not have near the QA testers they actually need for all the platforms they've spread to and all the features they've added. This issue and several others in the past year are the kind of thing you see when all your senior developers are replaced by junior developers without the experience necessary to continuously release better software.

After I didn't get a response to my first request, I uninstalled resilio sync and reinstalled it. After a few days, the same phenomenon occurred again. The files are no longer synchronized. The client of resilio sync from this computer no longer appears in the clients of resilio sync on other computers. If you log in via the web gui of resilio sync, you won't get to the previous settings. It starts again with the initial setup. 13 hours ago, Timbo said: Given that this bug would have been treated as a showstopper bug by any other QA manager, and still not addressed almost 3 months later (I reported it at least Aug 17), it might be time to move to alternate sync solutions.

Since I had the same problems and the integrity of file synchronization is essential, Resilio Sync was replaced with Syncthing on Ubuntu 18.10 computers. Maybe Resilio wants to get rid of Sync business, pro and home users. Could be cash flow or profit issues in this user segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgerskup Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 The reason I originally settled on Resilio Sync is because it let me sync existing windows directories (IIRC, Syncthing requires you to create new folder structures inside of the server application -- though I might be mis-remembering). I haven't really had success finding a good alternative that allows you to sync existing folder structures (i.e. those that need to be available to Windows users as well), unless you start looking into Dropbox/Google Drive/etc. (and then it's more of a cloud-based solution). Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite you acknowledging your problem was different, they clearly DID NOT fix the problem reported in this thread, so please elaborate on what fixed your issue for you in case it helps the rest of us. Resilio is seriously hurting their reputation by having such nasty bugs continue for months and support just goes silent on the issue.

Frank Maier Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 The problem was, that Resilio wasn't able to show which files are stuck, as I wrote in my first post in this thread. That's fixed now. As I said, only part of it was fixed, as I still have stuck files. However, I didn't had time to collect the logs again, so I wasn't able to report the issue to them But in my experience does the support work, but they need input. It's time consuming for myself, and once I find time, I'll try to report it in detail to them again. So far I don't have the time. But even for me, it's odd, that they still haven't fixed the problem yet. It's odd that they don't seem to have these issues. I also notice that mainly one laptop produces these problematic files which can't get synced. I suspect it's related to having the file locked for several days, with maybe some standby of Windows, but I don't know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, it happened to me with 2.6.2_Win while syncing huge file, it automatically stoped transfer from time to time, it wouldn't continue untill I renamed the file or changed its location.

Yes, it resolved it for me where it was happening at least 25% of the time on 2.6.1. My NAS is still stuck on some issue, but it appears to be crcdownloads related and not the "no peers online" bug.
