Hi,<p>I tried to use bittorent sync to share a folder containing hundreds of thousands of files < 100KB each. This didn't work well, as it's taking more than 15 hours to synchronize. Size is 15GB only. A 2GB tar.gz file in bittorent sync takes 10 Minutes to sync. (I have a 100Mbps connection up/down)<p>So, I'm looking at an alternative, that is :<p>0) Free
1) Auto update clients's folders when master is updated
2) write and read/only features : I create a folder (I have the write key), and people sync to it but read only
3) ability to handle small files
4) easy to use for windows users without a big knowledge
5) ability to distribute terabytes of data
6) Should work on windows<p>It seems Aerofs is out of the loop since it's a paid solution.
Please don't tell me about rsync, it's out of scope (point 4), etc..<p>I can see into other P2P stuff like these swarm softwares, etc, if they offer read only that it !<p>Thanks !
Are you connected to the Windows users over a LAN or intranet of some kind? If so, you might look into something like the HomeGroup feature in Windows, or even a simple remote connection. Essentially, users browse or navigate to the folder as if it is on their local computer even if it is not.
