My tablet is not the dedicated machine running BTSync. It's a Linux box that does all the work.
Miguel Domingues
That's my setup right now.
Drawbacks I don't see any but there's an advantage at least. Your phone will sync at home via wifi with your PC faster than it would via Internet.
My PC has the entire folder and my tablet has only some obf files (restricted via the sync ignore file).
I hope to see more people joining, it would increase the overall speed. It's one of those cases... The more the better.
Miguel Domingues
Thanks Miguel. I'm leaning toward a setup where I would sync with your machine using a PC and then have the phone/tablet syncing with the PC. Not sure what the drawbacks would be though.
Thanks Miguel - So far the .Syncignore file is being ignored. I've placed it in the root of the read-only folder (Windows machine) with Africa for example excluded using your format in the sample file. But sure enough, Africa started to download!
OK. Based on you have in your folder, and if I want to exclude Asia, Centralamerica, Southamerica, Africa and Australia, the correct file should contain:
I might face an issue with syncing between the read-only PC and my phone. The folder on PC has your read-only secret. If I give that secret to my phone I’m afraid it will start syncing with your machine as well (it’s the same secret after all).
I see only two nodes in swarm besides me. If they are syncing with the mobile devices, aren't they suppose to show on the list as well?

@EnSun: yes mobile devices should appear in the list.
@john If we split the files into several secrets/shares we won't be able to set them to download to the same folder. This would make it impossible to sync directly to mobile devices. My intention is for this to be as simple as possible, so I believe this is the way to go. To avoid download undesired/unwanted maps users can use the .SyncIgnore file.
Definitely we need more people online, having around 10 users always online would make this more viable. Right now I'm uploading from two different locations, with around 600 kb/s in total.
Miguel Domingues
I agree and a bit surprised as well that even with a high view count for this topic there are a very few interested users!

Miguel - I was talking about your mobile and John's unless you use a different method to get the data to your phones. Also in .SyncIgnore file, I had to change *_australia_* to just *australia* since there are *_australia-* instances in your folder.
Let me start by thanking everyone that's contributing to this initiative.
Currently all connected devices are fully synced, and it it took less that a week to transfer all the data between everybody. That's impressive, considering we are talking of almost 40gb.
I hope to see more people joining this, and that those who have tried that continue online. It helps a lot in the dissemination of the maps between all of us. As some of might have noticed, during the week speeds were sometimes close to 1000 KB/S. I'll keep using that connection to speed up the whole process.
Just to bump the BTSync secret, here it is again: BZVMBM27I7ASB4673MZDJYENGLTYXWJLA
Also, remember that if you don't want all the maps, you can use the sync ignore file as described in the previous messages.
Thank you all again.
Miguel Domingues
The mobile app behavior was a bit confusing to me at first. The "selective" downloading can only be accomplished if you have the "Automatic Sync" option unchecked. Otherwise all available maps (by default) will be downloaded unless you have .SyncIgnore specified. In other words, if only certain maps are to be downloaded "automatically" when the sync is running the user needs to check the "Automatic Sync" option and use the .SyncIgnore file, if needed, to exclude the unwanted maps.

My download speeds vary between 800kB/s and 1M/s with seven clients actively feeding, when I connect my mobile.
BTsync syncs the entire file even if a single block of the map file is modified at best. It’s a file-level sync method (as it’s the case with others) since anything else would be block level sync which is a much more complex technology requiring change journaling (keeping track of changed blocks) – something not deployed in this sync software. Even if at the transport level the file “chunks” are used still all chunks need to be downloaded to reconstruct the file. Hence, if only a single byte of that 500MB OBF file is changed the entire 500MB needs to be downloaded for the purpose of syncing.
I have no idea but from this experience the size always changes...

Why all files have the same suffix _2.obf

Running into an issue - The phone was upgraded today to Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. Now syncing to osmand folder has stopped since Kitkat won't grant permission to btsync to write anywhere on the external card, except "extcard/Android/data/com.bittorrent.sync".
Is this initiative still going? I will add my "considerable" (50-100kbs) bandwidth to the cause.

Are you syncing to your phone internal SD card or to the External SD card?

I have create a more exact .SyncIgnore file, which has a number of sections,
- Continents
- Large Countries
- Other
- Individual Maps
This allows the user to select individual continents to download, and further refine via either countries or individual files.There are simple instructions at the top for people that aren't familiar with how they work, and gives much greater control over what to sync.

If the new files could be released on Friday pm that would help as our local electricity is cheaper at the weekend all day as well as just over night.Thanks John

About the relay. NAS shouldn't use the relay server, you should be able to connect directly to that peer. NAS Remote connections are always through the relay server since in that connection I cannot forward the port in the routers. However, this second NAS is uploading sometimes at speeds high as 4 MB/sec. I guess it depends on the relay server load...
Both boxes are checking for updates in the OsmAnd server daily.
I've changed the frequency since NAS Remote was added, and with higher upload speeds peers get synced in less that a day.

I've altered my IgnoreList file on my laptop to accept all your files. While I don't have it on 24x7, I do have it on for most of the day so it might be a help. It appears that both your "NAS" and "NAS Remote" boxes are not directly accessible to me and the download speed to my laptop is quite slow. Most of the other peers I see don't have the relay icon so presumably they could have a faster connection to my laptop when I have it on line.
Hello,There is a demand to have maps downloaded as soon as they are released. Unfortunately it is hard to satisfy that demand because bandwidth limitation. But we can try to use Torrent to technology to help each other.For now I would like to present BTSync technology http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync/get-started.html# and give it a try.I'm publishing read-only keys to folders with latest maps :- RussiaR2NGOYG7TSJL7BT5QB5QFULORCH7TQ43X- FranceRYL64R2O3EKFBXKX3Z4C6NRT374WLMJD7- GBRW2VAHTU62NV5W5CLC5YS6XGXWHSEKTIA- GermanyRAMO45FOHSUHZNCIPEJX4EMDPOW44HOT6- EuropeR7MSXJBL7PDB74LI3A5HTIUQ7QDQE5ITU- NorthAmericaRJ6BUYMK4CDT64G3JZWVKAK2UPNGALXXIFiles in your folders will be automatically updated as soon as they are released. I hoped the server will maintain these connections (port for advanced configuration 5858 but it is optional).Drawbacks :- It is impossible to select single file from the folder. At least for now ;)- There is no official client for Android, but they are working on it and there is one unofficial.-------------------------------FYI :For now it doesn't give you possibility to update maps on your phone immediately and safe. But you could setup something like a chain of updates BTSync -> Folder -> Dropbox/SkyDrive... (Files selective) -> Sync on Android phone in folder backup.Once you see everything is ok you activate obf file and it is ready for use. This is my imaginary setup please use at your own risk :Victor
