Bittorrent sync may not share read only8/12/2023 ![]() ![]() “We are actively developing some functionality that we will want to monetize on top of what we are already doing,” says Pounds. This will focus, most likely, on enterprise customers and features for them - perhaps around customised file sharing boxes, or guaranteed quality of service around the file transfers. Pounds says that these new features have been some of the most-requested from users since Sync went live, but there have been others, too, and that is where monetization will eventually kick in. The links, meanwhile, can be set with an expiration date, and also a limit to how many times they can be viewed, and even if you choose with a specific approved name, at which point they are no longer valid. On top of this, a sender now has different options for how to send a file, either as a read only or read/write file. (Keys, it should be noted, will also continue to work.) Now, once a user gets that link, if the user does not already have Sync, he/she is directed to a way to download it to read the link - in other words, an easy way to share the files with people who you have not shared with before, who may have a folder set up in their Sync client already, but also a way of marketing the product. Whereas in the past, a user needed to share files by way of complex keys, the new version lets users share files with links that you can send in emails, messages or via QR codes. ![]() But now we are making that experience much more simplified.” ![]() Or, as Pounds described it to me, “Sync always did something magical by easily moving files between two devices. On Sync’s mobile apps, you can effectively “selective Sync.” In other words, you can see what files are available and only download the ones you want - a set up to preserve your phone’s capacity.īut in the place of these two caveats, Sync 1.4, as the version is called, gives the whole app a much smoother experience that could see it find more users regardless. Privacy is not up for debate.”Īnd you still have to “download” the file in order to consume it - there is no option for streaming a heavy video, as such. “Going online would require a web server hosted somewhere, and BitTorrent won’t do that,” VP for product management Erik Pounds says. The idea, too, will be that the easier Sync is to use, the more likely developers will be to implement it in their work.Ī couple of hurdles, however, remain: to read (or send) a link, you still need to have the Sync client installed on your device - there are clients for Windows, OS X, Linux, Android and iOS - a gating factor that P2P companies have yet to get through without bringing in servers. Today, BitTorrent is unveiling a new version of the app, still in beta, with features like sharing links and file controls that BitTorrent hopes will see it gain more mainstream adoption.īitTorrent released an API for Sync in November 2013, and it says that to date there have been 4,300 API keys distributed. Sync, a free file-sharing and synchronising service from P2P company BitTorrent that works like a server-less, cloudless Dropbox, has amassed 10 million user installs and 80 petabytes of data transferred since first going live last year - buoyed in part by a wave of sentiment against cloud-based services that some suspect keep your private files less private than you would hope (something BitTorrent itself has played up). ![]()

Oil and gas giants - and their underwriters are also on notice. Those in the private sector still financing coal must be held to account. They must now urgently do the same at home and dismantle their coal fleets. All G20 governments have agreed to stop funding coal abroad. The growth in pledges has been accompanied by a proliferation of criteria and benchmarks to set net-zero commitments with varying levels of robustness. First, coal and other fossil fuels are choking humanity. Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, the world has seen an increasing number of net-zero commitments by non-State actors, in particular from the private and financial sectors, as well as from local government and regions. Among other things, the Secretary-General called on non-State entities to put forward credible and transparent transition plans and to submit them before the end of this year. This came in response to the war in Ukraine, which has highlighted the dangers of dependence on overseas oil and gas. He also described the expected next steps for existing and new net-zero voluntary initiatives, ahead of the Climate Ambition Summit and COP28, expected to take place later this year. In their communiqu, the G7 leaders repeated their pledge to end new direct international public support for unabated fossil fuels but extended the scope of exceptions to allow for continued investment in the gas sector. The Secretary-General has issued specific asks to implement the Group’s recommendations, a process led by his Climate Action Team, in close collaboration with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The report provides clarity in four key areas – environmental integrity, credibility, accountability, and the role of governments. “We must have zero tolerance for net-zero greenwashing,” said the Secretary-General at the launch event that took place on 8 November 2022.

With a wry smile, Duncan addressed Robinson on stage and dispelled those rumors. Many thought Robinson had taken the young star out of Wake Forest under his wing and had given him personal tips.

I played in a pick-up game, and I have no idea how I played, but I played well enough that he offered me a scholarship. “Coach Odom comes down and said he wants to see me play. “He called his coach and said, ‘Hey, you might want to take a look at this kid,’” Duncan recalled. ![]() Duncan’s friends invited him to compete, and he garnered a lot of attention from a Wake Forest alum that was on hand.
