There'll now be a 120 day commenting period; 60 days of comments from companies and the public, and then 60 days of replies to those comments from the same. After that, the final rulemaking will happen.
It's likely that the docket number for comments will continue to be 14-28, so if you want to ask the FCC to apply common carrier rules to the Internet under Title II, you can do so here: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=r8e2h and you can view previous comments here: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment_search/execute?proceeding=1...
It's probably best to wait until the actual text of the NPRM is made public though, which'll likely happen very soon.
Edit: WaPo have now updated the title of the article to make it more accurate: "FCC approves plan to consider paid priority on Internet." Old title was "FCC approves plan to allow for paid priority on Internet."
It's only a replacement for a centralized service like Dropbox if you have an always-connected peer (a de facto central server).
Bittorrent Sync just overwrites files based on last mod time (terrible option). What does this do? Does it support backups? Versioning?
> Ori is a distributed file system built for offline operation and empowers the user with control over synchronization operations and conflict resolution. We provide history through light weight snapshots and allow users to verify the history has not been tampered with. Through the use of replication instances can be resilient and recover damaged data from other nodes.
It seems well thought out, and competitive with many of the other approaches mentioned here. It uses Merkle trees (as does Git) that encompasses the file system structure and full history.
If so, email me francis@redecentralize.org! (I couldn't see an email or contact form for you on the syncthing site)

Does this support delta/block-level sync for large files (e.g.: does mounting a 100 GB truecrypt container, modifying a file inside the container and unmounting it cause the entire 100 GB container to be uploaded)?
Does it utilize the native OS platform APIs for detecting file modification (e.g. inotify on linux) as opposed to scanning/polling large directories looking for modified date changes?
Lets say I install this software on my phone, my desktop, and my work computer. I have 100+ GB free on my work computer and my home desktop, but I only have 16GB on my phone. If I add 20GB worth of movies to my sync folder, its going to fill up my phone.
Syncthing looks similar, and LAN sync'ing is a killer feature for those of us in offices with poor bandwidth.
But seriously, it seems promising.

"Then all current commercial services drop off, including SpiderOak, Bittorrent Sync and git-annex. This resulted in a clever combination of EncFS and dvcs-autosync. Because, in this day and age, you cannot trust any "cloud" provider with your unencrypted data."
I deal with a constant stream of these and want to have a distributed network - connected via the inet - that allows me to sync the drives in all locations.
i.e. I would like to setup a server in my home office, one in my co-founder's home office and another in my editor's home office.
Whenever my editor runs off a few hundred GB of data to a specific folder or to their drive, I would love for that to be auto-synced to both my server and that of my co-founder.
Will Syncthing allow me to do this easily and will it be appropriate for an application like that?

Anyone know how it compares?
Upstream developer is very friendly and attentive & seems happy to discuss new features and use cases.
I use Dropbox pretty frequently to share stuff between mobile devices and desktops. If Syncthing can't do that it isn't as useful.
I couldn't understand quite advantages and why would I replace BTSync, which BTW, works really well already and does all this nice things. Plus works on my Phone and Ipad and Nexus.
To clarify one thing, I have home server which obviously hosts BTSync repos with ample space. Ability to fine-grained share parts of it is invaluable.
Syncany can work with any backend (like AWS S3) and is encrypted.
It is more of a dropbox replacement while sycnthing is a btsync replacement.
This is mostly a problem for people like me who use both Android and iOS devices so alternatives need to support both platforms.
- Combine devices and cloud services into a single interface.- Transfer data between computers, smartphones, tablets and clouds.- Manage and use data directly on the device or cloud it is stored.
My small business is looking for a combined file collaboration / file backup service that doesn't cost an excessive amount of money (we're a non-profit on a budget). Is there a good service for this? For example, Dropbox is mainly for sharing files, whereas Carbonite is mostly for backing up your computer. Is there a solution for both?
I am curious, though: what do people use to get their files remotely? And what's the cheapest solution for hosting your own central server? Would a simple AWS instance work fine?
