![]() ![]() There is alot of potential in competing with BitSync, and I think Syncthing may displace soome of it’s user base without even trying, but there is also the issue of coordination and prioritizing what we are all working on. Honesty and frankness is what enables Syncthing to grow and improve, and it improves (speaking for myself) my own talent, expertise, and understanding. In this way the speed can also be provided by spreading the packages around the relays. What will it take and why doesn’t we just jump aboard? If the main problem is privaci then make it a choice for the users to deside to turn the functionallity on or off in the settings and then make som relays awailable or even better make every instance of Syncting a relay to cover any area of the world. Sometimes it will connect across NATed networks bnut offent it won’t and I’m ending up using more time on messing around with router settings and other settings to get it to work, wich is a big shame. With Btsync i can rely on it to work everywhere on any network reliable, with Syncthing on the other hand i can’t because I need to make sure that the port forwarding is in place and UPnP i very unstable at best. This is really what is holding me back from using it for other than te3sting right now. As soon as I can rely on Syncthing to just work across any network I’ll gladly jump of the BtSync-train and make the shift and put Syncthing into my day instead. This is my biggest wish for this project. Every instance of the Skype-software is a relay too so encrypted trafic can easily pass around the internet and get thru everywhere. You should really work on some relay functionallity og maybe even let every instance of the Syncthing function as a relay in the way that Skype operates. I know this has been discussed before but I really think this is what is missing right now. If we can have this functionallity in Syncthing, if it kjust will find a way to work (maybe thru relays) Syncthing is will be so f****ng awesome. And you should really walk down that route. It just start to sync and works very well. You can just exchange the secret and you’re sure to be connected anytime you connect to the internet around the world. This is really what makes BtSync awsome and great. This downs the transfer speed a lot when nodes needs to coonect to my home-network with low upload speed. Mobile networks for example (3G/4G) does connect to the home-server sometimes but copletely refuses to connect to each other because UPnP does not work at all on them ant they’re basically NAT-networks at most. Though i might easily do a port forward at home to reach my home-server there are a lot of networks out there that I have abolutely no control of and even the automatic UPnP fails. However there is one thing that really turns the show off and that’s the total lack of ability to påenetrate throug firewalls. I’ll gladly rent some low-cost servers around the globe and set a lot of syncthing-nodes up so that my syncing across various platforms happens in the speed of light. ![]() I especially love how the introducer-functionallity works and makes it easy to build a big mesh of device making syncing on a capable connection real fast. Your guys are really moving the right way and you’ve done a lot off things so very correct. This is a really great piece of work wich i’ll honor as best i can. This is not a how-do-we-make-syncthing-a-new-btsync-clone kinda thread, it’s more of a how-to-make-a-great-userexperience-for-former-btsync-peoples-making-them-want-to-stay-here-forever-and-maybe-donate kindof thread, if ya know what I mean. So now I’m going to give this very apealling nice piece of opensource-work a spin and telling how I feel i regards to switching to this software, and hopefully this will sooner og later leat to me shifting for good and maybe I’ll put a donation your way for the good work.īutr before I’ll go down this route, there are things I’ll wanna share (and hopefully get fixed) with your guys. My first post in here so excuse me if I’m posting in the wrong category, I don’t really know exatly where to post this.įirst of all I’m also one of thoes wanting to trash BtSync for good for letting me down as a fanatic user, or atleast letting alot of my fellow users down with the 10 folder cap, though the promised otherwise. ![]()
