I have a large (1.5TB) send-only sync folder on a PC (“W”) at work, and a fully synchronised copy on a PC (“H1”) at home. I want to migrate this to a third PC (“H2”) on my LAN, so I have configured H2 as a remote device on both the other W & H1, and shared the folder from W and H1 to H2.
It is slowly synchronising, but if I look at “Remote Devices” on H2, it says it is 90% syncing with W but up to date with H1, which doesn’t seem to make sense?
If I look at the Remote Device on H1, it says it’s up to date with W (which is correct) and at 6% syncing with H2, which also sounds about right. The status on W matches this (H1 up to date, H2 at 6%).
As H1 & H2 are on my LAN I would expect most of the sync traffic to be between those two but it feels like it’s mostly pulling it across the DSL link to my office (which will take forever!) Indeed it’s been syncing for ~12h which should be long enough to transfer 1.5TB over a gigabit LAN (both H1 and H2 are connected to the same gigabit switch).
