Fun fact: An open source[1] version of BTSync called Snakebite was introduced back in 2006, predating BTSync by 6-7 years.[2][3] These days, it's not well known at all, and the Internet seems to have mostly forgotten about it, but there it is. Van Jacobson made a couple of offhand references to Snakebite at a Google TechTalk he gave in 2006.[4] The student who created it went off to do international NGO work or something, but his co-conspirator ended up working at BitTorrent, Inc for a bit. I don't know what BTSync is like today, but a few years ago when the call for beta testers first went out, its UX as described at the time was more or less the same as the way Snakebite's web interface worked.[5] 1. http://sourceforge.net/projects/tristero/files/Snakebite/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/tristero/files/Snakebite/ 2. http://slashdot.org/story/06/08/29/0441202/new-auto-seeding-torrent-server-released http://slashdot.org/story/06/08/29/0441202/new-auto-seeding-... 3. http://www.webknowhow.net/news/news/060829SnakeBiteBittorentServer.html http://www.webknowhow.net/news/news/060829SnakeBiteBittorent... 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCZMoY3q2uM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCZMoY3q2uM 5. http://web.archive.org/web/20070320161111/http://actlab.tv/snakebite_guide.html http://web.archive.org/web/20070320161111/http://actlab.tv/s...
