Since I was one of the alfa-testers, I was able to develop a deployment concept for linux servers which permits to deploy BitTorrent Sync as single or multiple daemons with specific configurations. There are now ready-to-use deb packages available both for Ubuntu or Debian with full debconf-support for automated creation of an optional default configuration. If you are searching for a version more suitable for personal desktop use, please look here.

#INSTALLATION IN UBUNTU

Currently there are packages available for Ubuntu precise, quantal, raring and saucy supporting both i386 and amd64. The packages can be easily installed by adding the PPA and then installing as usual:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxpoldo/btsync
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install btsync

I'm glad to announce the release of BitTorrent Sync desktop mode packages for all current Debian and Ubuntu versions. If you are searching for a version more suitable for server use, please look here.

These packages are explicitly intended for desktop usage and provide a user experience similar to the Windows and MacOSX versions (except the fact that there is no tray applet). When installed, an instance of BitTorrent Sync will automatically start when the user logs in. The BitTorrent Sync management interface is made available as a normal application icon in the desktop environment:

Since this is the first release, please still expect some minor issues. Furthermore the packages still have not been tested with KDE/LXDE and Debian, so any feedback is highly appreciated.

	# Usage:
	# A call to http://localhost:80000/example.com/foo.html will cache the file
	# at http://example.com/foo.html on disc and not redownload it again.
	# To clear the cache simply do a `rm *.cached`. To stop the server simply
	# send SIGINT (Ctrl-C). It does not handle any headers or post data.
