What's BTSync?
In short, it is a torrent syncing app. It works exactly like regular torrent, you have seeds and leecher, and everyone share the bandwidth while syncing.
It is great for stuff that updates rapidly. I don't have to send a weekly update to a file hoster, and the file link never go down. If you stay connected, you get updated as soon as I move the archive in the sharing folder.
If you don't stay connected, you will sync upon starting the BTSync program.
You can get it here: www.bittorrent.com/sync
Once you got BTSync installed, start the program and press the + (add folder) button. Paste the keys in, pick a folder where you want the sync to happen, and you're good to go. You won't have anything else to do, and as long as it's connected, you help seed what you have when new people joins in, and get the updates as soon as they are released.
I can't stress how important it is for some people to stay connected. My bandwidth is only 100kilobytes per seconds, so it isn't much. When 4-5 people stays in, it makes sure that new people that joins in get a good speed.
I want to thank everyone that help me seed the stuff! I haven't even asked anyone and some people just figured it would be helpful and did it on their own. Thanks! But I understand if you can't stay connected as well, some ISP have some bandwidth cap (as my previous had) and you need to be careful not to exceed. I got unlimited now so I don't mind myself.
