This process requires you to have the node ID of the other system at hand, as you need to add it to the configuration. You need to add at least one node as it does not really make sense to use a synchronization client if you do not have devices to sync the data with. If you do, changes made to the repository on the computer will be synced to all other nodes, but changes made on other devices won't be synced back. Here you can also pick the nodes that you want to share the repository with, and make it a master repository. pictures or documents, and select the repository path (folder path). You have four options on the page of which two are mandatory. You need to pick a unique ID for the repository, e.g. Add nodes (other devices) to the sync process.Ī click on Add Repositories starts the process.Add repositories (directories) to the client.The three key options that you have here are the following: You can configure the service using the web admin console. You can access it here at any time: The default synchronization directory is c:\users\username\Sync, the user configuration directory C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Syncthing
The install file reflects the new code, shrinking from nearly 6MB for version 5 to less than 1MB for version 6.īT also comes with a small piece of software called DNA. Although BT still eats more memory than its new sibling, it's hogging significantly less than before.
Without a doubt, BitTorrent has taken drastic steps to reverse course and unsink its sinking ship. There's also a menu bar item in the BitTorrent client called Get Stuff, with links to Movies, TV, Music, and Games at the BitTorrent content site. Where uTorrent's search takes you to the MiniNova torrent site, BitTorrent's goes to, a pay-for-most-content site. There's an RSS tracker and search bar, just like in uTorrent, but there's where we encounter one key difference.
You can pick which files in a torrent you want to download, throttle your Internet connection to suit your whims, muck about with the Web UI and, basically, do everything that uTorrent can do. Now, in one fell swoop, BT has access to everything it lacked. Previously, BT had lacked features that other torrent innovators had spent time testing and investing in. Now, adopting its new sibling's interface has completely reinvigorated the original BitTorrent client.
BitTorrent hadn't seen a major update in about two years, but that was before it bought out uTorrent.
Aside from being a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol, BitTorrent is also the name of the official software used to connect to the BitTorrent network.
