well… if the user wanted to use bittorrent sync an easy way to avoid hassle would be to have a way of just turning off the current replication system. As long as the permissions will be correct in the folder then the images should just sync across.
The user would have to generate their own key and tell bittorrent sync where to sync the images.
I suppose the biggest advantage would be many to many replication. I would have to check if bittorrent sync can take parts of files from different hosts but at a minimum if you had 10 images and were putting in your 11th host… you could get away with transferring one image from each of the others. which could save you a ton of time if your doing things over a WAN.
Is there currently a way to easily disable replication and i’ll throw a couple of VMs on 0.33b and see if I can make it do something.
