> So basically we have the same position on IPv6 as (almost) everybody else.

Note that (6 months later):
* Windows Vista, recent OS X releases and Linux distributions have IPv6 autoconfiguration enabled by default. Most applications shipped with these OSes also support IPv6.
* All modern web browsers support IPv6.
* Apple's Airport Extreme wireless gateway automatically creates and configures an IPv6 tunnel for you.
* Google provides its services over IPv6 at ipv6.google.com.
* 6 of the 13 root DNS servers are now accessible via IPv6.
* Some ISPs have begun supporting IPv6 natively (i.e. without IPv4 tunneling): http://www.sixxs.net/faq/connectivity...
* Free and reliable IPv6 tunneling remains available for anyone who wants it from many tunnel brokers worldwide.

So yes, IPv6 adoption has been slow, but there clearly is progress. Software from "almost everybody else" already supports IPv6. Now the main hinderance is networks and users.

A comment on the question "IPv6 support available/planned?" in Wuala:

Well, all of Internet2 and most of the research community is IPv6 capable so (like me for instance!) so if you made Wuala capable of using IPv6 if available it would most definitely get used. – Douglas Baggett, on September 12, 2008 13:53

If it is a single flie it will fail. I supposed he meant multiple files.. The problem with bigger files was reported here: http://wua.la/Wuala+Community/Bugs/On...
and it's already on the todo list

If it's a 40GB single file, it likely will fail, 40 GB of individual smaller files however shouldn't be very problematic, but I'd recommend not syncing _all_ of them at once, maybe in ~5 or 10 GB chunks...

I'll keep attempting workarounds. Thanks for the heads up and hopefully I can get Wuala to sync somehow.

nmat replied on September 07, 2008 00:27 to the idea "Sync Framework For Automated File Backup/Centralization" in Wuala:

Last test: 10.02GB (12880 files) and it worked.
I'm actually impressed with this. Last time I tried to use one of these backup programs I couldn't upload anything. I guess that wuala's system integration has become better.

Regarding your problem, try to separate the job into different tasks maybe? 10GB each, 4 tasks for example. I don't know what kind of files are you trying to backup so I don't know if it is possible....

nmat replied on September 06, 2008 22:03 to the idea "Sync Framework For Automated File Backup/Centralization" in Wuala:

40GB? :o That's a lot... I never tried to upload that much data at once.

The maximum size I synched was about 7.5GB. 40GB is nearly all the space I have in wuala.

How big a transfer did you try? I'm trying to sync around 40gb. I tried Cobian for the initial transfer and it didn't work. I can't try it now as Cobian can't interact with files it didn't back up.

nmat replied on September 06, 2008 15:45 to the idea "Sync Framework For Automated File Backup/Centralization" in Wuala:

Erm... Cobian Backup. Sorry for the mistake.

EDIT: I didn't do intensive testing. But I tried to backup large amounts of files and it worked fine.

Is this a free app you are referring to? I wasn't able to find any links regarding this software. I would like to try it if you could provide a link. Thank you!

Here I tried Corba Backup in windows and it works fine...

shanepardue replied on September 06, 2008 14:19 to the idea "Sync Framework For Automated File Backup/Centralization" in Wuala:

I have tried syncing on many linux distros, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

What OS are you using?

shanepardue replied on September 06, 2008 02:32 to the idea "Sync Framework For Automated File Backup/Centralization" in Wuala:

I've tried using every sync tool you can think of and they each error out before even copying any files. They seem to check for differences for awhile, but fail in the process.

Is there any possibility we can sync Wuala in the near future?

shanepardue replied on August 21, 2008 14:01 to the idea "Sync Framework For Automated File Backup/Centralization" in Wuala:

Yes. It will look for changes for many hours and sometimes more than a day then it will error out saying not enough space. It used to see the differences then give me an "input/output error", but now it won't even get that far.

nmat replied on August 21, 2008 13:24 to the idea "Sync Framework For Automated File Backup/Centralization" in Wuala:

Do you have filesystem integration working?

shanepardue replied on August 21, 2008 00:55 to the idea "Sync Framework For Automated File Backup/Centralization" in Wuala:

I haven't been able to sync with rsync or unison since the early days. What's the reason for this?

joe12 replied on August 16, 2008 10:49 to the idea "Sync Framework For Automated File Backup/Centralization" in Wuala:

Second that!
The automatic backup of files that have been changed is a no-go criteria for me.

A comment on the idea "Web accessible files" in Wuala:

If Java version = webstart version: this enables you to view AND store files within Wuala. But you need an account to be able to write or store something. Anonym. access gives you only read access. – Roger, on July 21, 2008 12:39

A comment on the idea "Web accessible files" in Wuala:

I can only guess that the Java version will come with a view-only and (possibly later) with a write access version. The reason for this is that this applet is also meant to enable users who do not have your PW to be able to view your content iff you give them a link (that is as far as I can gather) – Darkstriker, on July 18, 2008 13:50
