BitTorrent Sync
There a new technology just coming out, I mean it really new. It uses the proven bittorrent P2P technology with security, to transfer files, folders fast, securely. From the info I see they're doing it right. If I were you guys, I would look at this and try to add this as a addon app. It in alpha, but now would be the time to work on this, if you miss this windows on the competition you'll be left in the dust. This is going to be hot as a means backup, file access, etc.

- super_poussinVirtuosoAn addon is under Netgear revue for R6 :)
- Denis1TutorWell I'm happy because this blows away everything that is being used today for backups, clouds, files replication.Good thing to be looked at.
I very unhappy, I feel I'm being left to dry, since I use a older version business box. It should be an app add-on to all versions. I don't like the fact that Netgear is using the Android business model for Readynas OS , Will version 8 be the same? buy new hardware or else you don't get everything. These Boxes are not $200 phones, more like $2000 systems and not throw aways after 2 yr
Next NAS, I'll have to do my home work and buy what is best at that time period and that might not be a Readynas. Their actions shows limited life time for Future versions. - SquazzAspiranthave anyone tested this for systems with Raidiator firmware?
Personally I'm on a Pro 4, and will try this out as soon as I get to it. - super_poussinVirtuosoWill do it give me time

I have just installed BT sync on my Pro 4, and I really can't see the need for an add-on. What BitTorrent Labs offers is so easy to use already :)
Edit: I thought I would submit a fast little how to guide for setting up BT Sync on your NAS: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=71152 - super_poussinVirtuosoAddon is for people who don't want to play with shell and have a start/stop button in frontview with an init script.
:) - DrJonesAspirantAny update?
- super_poussinVirtuosoAlways buggy
- erwinriveraAspirantThanks for the great app.
This downloaded and installed first time and has been working fine until a restart of a readynas then all the folders and saved secret keys are lost and need to be recreated.
Also a new password is not saved and settings are lost any assistance pls? This is running on a Readynas Ultra 6.1.5 - super_poussinVirtuosoWhich NAS ?
I can't reproduce the issue on my 516/316
