BitTorrent Sync Packaging Project

BitTorrent® Sync from BitTorrent® Inc. is a simple tool that applies p2p protocol for direct live folder sync with maximum security, network speed and storage capacity. It has native versions for Mac, Windows and Linux, as well as native NAS integration.

BitTorrent® Inc. delivers for Linux users only a raw binary file without any deployment concept or setup system. It's up to the user to create a reliable startup and shutdown logic and to manage a configuration file. Also a dedicated GUI, as provided for Windows and Mac OSX is missing.

The scope of this project is to provide a Linux GUI with all features as in Windows and Mac OSX and easy to install packages both for servers and desktop systems.

THESE SOFTWARE IS UNOFFICIAL AND NOT THE WORK OF BITTORRENT® INC. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE BITTORRENT® INC. SUPPORT WITH QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE USE OF THE PACKAGES. YOU WILL FIND COMPETENT HELP AND SUPPORT IN THE RELATED DISCUSSION THREAD IN THE SUPPORT FORUM (Links below)

The mere executables and documentation provided by BitTorrent® Inc. are distributed in a package named btsync-common - all other packages are dependent upon it.

The brand new package containing the full featured GUI for BitTorrent Sync for desktop users is named btsync-gui - This package is going to replace btsync-user on long term.

The package containing support for BitTorrent Sync as a single or multiple service with or without WebUI for server/NAS deployment is named btsync

The legacy package containing support for BitTorrent Sync as a WebUI and tray application for desktop users is named btsync-user
