(Get the code!)
Hi,
My Observation was, that it needs not so much time for bigger files, but it needs very long to at first sync the whole Folder Tree, if it is some bigger structure... i wanted to sync a html Manual, but i took about two days, just to sync the folders, and another Day to sync the the small Files. i don't have much problems putting selected files, like odt documents with about 2 MB
the handling of many files is really slow...
When connecting another PC to that account it takes for ages to have synced every bit.
I don't have much insight of the syncing mechanics, but i believe there are some things which add up.
1. scan folders and files (if not fully scanned i think it restarts at the beginning)
2. first folder sync (the top level Folders are synced, than the second level and so one) if that is not finished before logging out from linux it restarts the very long scan process again.
3 . filesync is very slow: small files (about a view KB) are not much faster than 1-2 MB files, not to mention bigger files... The filetransfer itself is pretty fast, but the handing what file comes where and so one is very slow
Thats very frustrating
perhaps there are some possibilities to handle the syncing of many files and folders more efficient
thats mostly my observation, not a scientific speedtest, I know. i believe, that's not really needed. it should be "recognisably" faster...
Thanks
