Dropbox actually have a "Sync over LAN" checkbox. It just never seem to been implemented/enabled.

I actually just dropped Dropbox for btsync the other week and are very happy, it's iOS app even serves other clients with files over LAN.

Btsync however uses quite crappy crypto and is closed source etc etc.

Syncthing mentions they use TLS encryption, hopefully i can roll my own 8k keys.

I tried Sparkleshare last year aswell, but my experience was mixed. Also it relies on quite a different architecture (git) than a "versioning bittorrent protocol".

Looking forward to evaluating syncthing when time permits.
