BitTorrent Sync overview
BitTorrent Sync allows you to sync unlimited files between your own devices, or share a folder with friends and family to automatically sync anything.
File transfers are encrypted. Your information is never stored on a server in the cloud and your data is protected by private keys.
BitTorrent Sync is specifically designed to handle large files, so feel free to sync original, high quality, uncompressed files.

let me start off by saying that most of the criticism here has long been fixed by BitTorrent. A while back, BT changed their entirely free model to a freemium subscription model, where you had to pay a yearly fee to use premium features. that sucked! not only because i hate subscriptions, but also because it made no sense to have a subscription for something you run on your own hardware. things have changed. the free version has gotten more features and the pro version is a one time purchase.
i can only say that it works like a charm. it sits quietly in the background and doesnt need much processing power. it runs on my raspberry pi just as performant as it runs on my workstation. the speeds always max out the possible bandwidth and the load balancing between multiple sources works just as well. i can store files on potentially unsecure servers through encrypted folders and sharing even large folders with friends is easy to set up.

MacUpdate currently shows minimum system requirement for v2.1.1 as OS X 10.5 (Leopard), when in fact it's OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (per BitTorrent Sync's Help Center).
