Weeks to sync? That's crazy. What kind of network connectivity do you have?

Jonathan, seems like BTS is meant to be peer-to-peer, while OwnCloud is meant to be client/server. Having tried both, BTS is much simpler to install and use.

You're drawing a good distinction, Thorin. For folks that want to use their own available storage, and are primarily focused on access, sync is a really good solution. You don't have to move content into the cloud first and you're not paying for cloud storage, so capacity is only limited by what you have. BitTorrent…

Try odrive. You can install it on the server you have on your hosted and use it like a private dropbox.
