I wish this app supported threaded in-chat conversations.

Right now, it's a very basic, barebones log.

Thanks a lot indeed!

Great program that's definitely my preferred DI.FM premium interface but unfortunately I'm having constant connection issues.  I tried to contact the dev but couldn't seem to get access to their forum.  For the moment, I've switched over to VLC.

yoi.. that test this software.

You need to start this by "run as administator" in order to see all the drives. You can set that property in the shortcut properties if you wish.

webfork on 2016-04-13 20:04

This program really helped me out today by showing a "high speed" flash drive really wasn't. Negatively, it wants to erase a drive to run a write test for some reason. Still, a great diagnostic program with an easy to understand output.

I really dislike the way it forces you to only update feeds every 15 mins, and keeps nagging to set the update period to an hour. I follow many feeds which update quickly and 15 mins simply isn't fast enough. Apart from that, I'd give this program 5 stars but as it is, I give it 3 stars

@webfork, which issue? The empty directories or the ProgramData folder? I have 3 laptops running Win 10, 64bit and it's done the same on them all.

webfork on 2019-09-02 22:46

@hamasaki: the ProgramData issue. I'll add a note to the entry.

Bittorrent Sync v1.3.109 Private

webfork on 19 Sep 2014
  • 3MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Marc

BitTorrent Sync is a synchronization tool for transferring files securely between two or more devices using BitTorrent technology. Unlike regular file sharing tools, individual connections must be enabled between specific users. It includes bandwidth controls and no set limit on file size, folders, devices, or other users you sync with.

Intended as a more reliable and secure alternative to cloud-based services like Dropbox, SkyDrive, Google Drive, etc. the program does not rely on any specific server or service. No data is saved on machines outside of those you specify. Negatively, there is no way to share a web-accessible link (e.g. "share via web").

Cross-platform with clients available for Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and BSD.

Note: Bittorrent Sync is no longer portable. Linking to the last available portable version (1.3.109).

Category:
Runs on:WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8
Writes settings to: Writes to settings.dat in the application folder
Path portability: No
License: Freeware
How to extract:
  1. Save BTSync.exe to a folder of your choice
  2. Inside the same folder create a new empty "Text Document" file and rename it from "New Text document.txt" to "settings.dat"
  3. Launch BTSync.exe
Setting up a sync: Choose a sync folder and then "standard setup" if you are setting it up on the initial machine or "I have a secret" if this is the second instance/device. Then copy the presented code and paste on the other machine's "I have a secret" prompt.

I've been using BitTorrent sync for a while now & I've written this simple setup guide & key sharing script. It's intended to get newbies up & running and sharing files - more veteran users won't need it.

My task manager of choice for corralling processes and killing processes that need to go, but takes up a lot of processor power to run on my Win7x64 system. As a result, despite some of the cool monitoring tools included, I generally run it to do something and then immediately close. Also, as many have pointed out, this program really needs a manual.

I am Baas on 2013-10-12 17:55

@Midas
I had no problems using LessMSI 1.1.3 on the x64 installer. Daphne v1.55 64-bit is portable.
