Kinda astonishing that there’s still no open source reimplementation of the old #BTSync/#ResilioSync applications/protocol.
There’s lots of private sync solutions… but nothing that allows for easy, “anonymous”, selective, large dataset distribution. “anonymous” as in “I don’t know who is downloading”. (trackerless, ad-hoc, BitTorrent)
And since I can already hear people typing… “but #SyncThing…”.
NO, it does *not* cover that use-case, and explicitly doesn’t want to.
I've never used BTSync or ResilioSync, but it sounds like it did two things that today have been split up.
On one hand you have personal syncronization and that's done with tools like Nextcloud and SyncThing, and on the other hand you have anonymous large data distribution, which is done with tools like Wormhole.
What you don't have today is a modern tool that also handles the indexing by name, which is what I assume you mean by selective.
But there are tools that provide essentially this in far more secure ways, such as Hyphanet, which provides true anonymity (beyond anything bittorrent offered), censorship resistance, at rest encryption, etc.
