I signed up for the beta before it was public, but as I learned more about it, I chose not to test it out. (I thought it was going to be a proprietary implementation of an open standard, and open source implementations would follow.) Steve Gibson has noted on his "Security Now" podcast that BitTorrent has hinted that they may still open source it. Until that happens, I'm not really interested. > BTSync is easily twice as fast as AeroFS for initial sync over my LAN. Good to know. Maybe it'll motivate AeroFS to improve. Nothing says that can't incorporate the already open BitTorrent algorithm. I wouldn't trust BTSync for situations where encryption mattered, and if I want a sync tool to use inside my LAN for which I don't care about encryption, then I'd still rather use something open source. -Tom -- Tom Metro The Perl Shop, Newton, MA, USA "Predictable On-demand Perl Consulting." http://www.theperlshop.com/
