Wow, nice! How did you find that page? http://www.rsync.net/products/platform.html doesn't link to it

It says "© 2013 BitTorrent, Inc." Is it "Sync" (http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html) based?

Somewhat relevant is this article, https://danluu.com/file-consistency/ which was discussed here a while, back.

Looks like it can reconcile this automatically.

Probably better used with a filesystem that has strong guarantees though.

I notice this interface is a copy of https://uploadfiles.io/

Is this code released by them, or simply a clone of their site? I used uploadfiles.io until last year when they started implementing a countdown timer on downloads, and haven't used the service since. However I did find the interface and usability quite nice, so this is a perfect alternative to host my own.
