syncspirit v0.4.5 release!
(github.com)
Keep up the good work and thank you for contributing to FOSS!
The github page mentions a few things this doesn't have which syncthing does, how about anything this has which syncthing does not have? Basically to answer why should anyone consider this instead of syncthing?
Well, yep. For now the positive differences are
- better speed transfers (up to
x7speed up on my setup). - different UI (including unique features like see in realtime tree-like structure of remote/local folders).
- Windows XP support
- it targeted for long-awaited "selective sync" mega-feature (asked for many years by syncthing users; but it is out of scope of syncthing business, so, it will unlikely be developed). I plan to do it after 1-2 releases (after implementing "ignoring local files" feature).

That sounds incredible; Syncthing's UI is pretty terrible, haha.
Ha-ha! Most of people thins that syncspirit UI is terrible :)
