A Way to Share BitTorrent Syncs
- ukd1 13y agoI was wondering how long it would take for someone to do this! Beware of people deleting all your stuff; use read only secrets.
- mistabrando 13y agoIf anybody has suggestions for site please contact me!
- ronnier 13y agoWhy didn't I think of this? Seems so obvious after the fact.
- hobs 13y agoYeah I was thinking about doing it as soon as I heard about it, but I was lazy, and he beat us both to it.
- hobs 13y agoA thing would either be standardizing some keywords or showing some sort of tag cloud of popular ones.
- juskrey 13y agoSome edit or delete link for submitter to be returned upon creation. (Actually, did not notice if it was there)
- boi_v2 13y agoRemove google analitics and stop telling google club what people is sharing.
- tobeportable 13y agoAll tags list and count of keys per tag. Count of keys per share & info if R or RW. I think RW don't belong here...
- veridies 13y agoIt would be great if there were a way to create Sync links; if I could click on "sync:XXXXXXXXXXXX" and have it automatically start syncing to that secret, then Sync would be incredibly easy to use for stuff like this.
- bobuk 13y agoYep. All developers around Sync are waiting for API and URI.
- Fuxy 13y agoThis is not supposed to replace torrents although it just might.
- veridies 13y agoIt has some real advantages, though. The ability to change the content and to let other people upload things to one folder is really cool and not easily done through torrents.
- pixelcort 13y agoBe aware there is currently a bug where read-only secrets can be used to add files to a share at the time of joining. Be sure to backup your shared folders early and often!
- captbaritone 13y agoI think we need a BitTorrent Sync to share BitTorrent Sync secrets.
- captbaritone 13y agoI went ahead and did it. Got to town: P4L5HYCHHJXXYQI43MYLJMNSKALYQL5V
- pixelcort 13y agohttps://github.com/vrypan/btsync-keys https://github.com/vrypan/btsync-keys being shared at RR745RPH5URZVEWS7NSY2KR2V3DKKPBGU
- andrethegiant 13y agoNice. It would be great if it said the file size of the folder!
- mistabrando 13y agoOnce BitTorrent Sync releases their web API, I'll see what I can do
- iand 13y agoNapster emerged as a way to search open filesystem shares. We need something similar for BT Sync points.
- ritonlajoie 13y agoBT Sync is missing one thing : the ability to choose which files to sync from a remote secret.
- bobuk 13y agoI just drop it here: http://btsnc.at/ http://btsnc.at/
- bobuk 13y agoActually this is mine aproach to do something webbish with bittorrent sync. I do it because lots of people who don't understand what to do with this "secrets".
- antrix 13y agoSo I randomly set the ID in the URL to http://btsnc.at/11 http://btsnc.at/11 and got a secret: RXSYSTTQYRSRY4PU7DMW32GUVXOBHI4GX Is that a valid secret.. I don't know. But if it is.. then not much of a secret if I can get one by just guessing btsnc.at URLs!
- bobuk 13y agoWell. This is your choice to PUBLISH your "secret". As you can notice usualy everybody write "secret" with quotas. Because "secret" is realy not so "secret".
- lurkinggrue 13y agoIf you publish your ssh key than it wouldn't be a secret either.
- hiby007 13y agoBrilliant work sir.
- StavrosK 13y agoHow secure/stable is this? I'd like to run it as a Dropbox alternative to synchronize files between my computers, and love the fact that it's just an executable.
- tobeportable 13y agoI am still expecting them to make it possible to have a folder synced(backed up only) without requiring a RW key to be created.
- StavrosK 13y agoIf you only want a backup, why can't you create a read-only key and send that to the backup host?
- tobeportable 13y agoa write key will be created nonetheless, i did made a request on their forum for such a feature
- ragmondo 13y agoI have written a plain text to base64 encoder here : http://www.getbitcoin.info/assets/misc/base64generator.html http://www.getbitcoin.info/assets/misc/base64generator.html Soo.. instead of sharing keys, you can just share keywords and then generate the keys from the keywords. It's just javascript that I based on another base64 encoding example. Feel free to use as long as I get a credit somewhere.
