Suggest solutions for synchronizing data over the Internet
Maybe there are some solutions that allow you to synchronize several computers using bittorent technology, for example?
You run the application at home, at work and on the laptop.
You have three identical copies of a certain folder.
When you change in one place, the rest download it to yourself.
That is, something like dropbox, but without saving somewhere in the cloud for money.
For history, I'll add a link here to an article about wuala .
Stopped at this decision.
UPD
I turn to this solution: habrahabr.ru/blogs/p2p/120498/
At home it is more convenient to exchange through p2p. Yes, and do not bother with the trade place.

as an option:
Buy yourself a white ip-address from the provider and raise a repository of something like svn
, set up a folder and two shortcuts for parents, one for the update, the second for the commit,
when the parents add new photos they make a commit, when you add - ask them to update. It seems that there should be no difficulties with this.
so that the system works when your computer is turned off, it seems that you can use some kind of mercurial or other distributed system, the only thing is that your parents will not be able to update the photos, but without the cloud they will not be able to anyway
Aerofs are going to implement this idea... But they don't even distribute alphas to the world yet (
Alternatively, linux.softpedia.com/get/Communications/ownCloud-58067.shtml , but you need your own server here.
Windows Live Mesh (similar to Dropbox) allows you to synchronize directories without uploading files to the cloud. The only thing if I'm not mistaken, there are restrictions on the size of the transferred file.
Windows Live Mesh 2011 link get 25GB. online access to files, with the ability to view photos and edit office documents. synchronization of any number of computers, as well as RDP between them via http protocol
Why don't you want dropbox?
This can be done through shared folders. I'll try to set it up with my parents today.
Why don't you need a cloud? For parents, everything will be transparent.
1. sftpd for linux
2. Ftpdrive for wines (there are also paid ones, but you can find them yourself)
3. own server or rent an ftp tariff for 25 gigs on agave
4. connect the ftp folder as a disk
5.
6. Profit, and not expensive
Once upon a time used Novell iFolder. How things are now with this product, I can not say.
If it's for one person who works in different metas, I used rsync.
Before starting work, rsync is done "from there", before finishing, everything is rsynced back "there".
When the team is working at the same time, you need to look at the version control systems. most likely you will have to deal with merge and rollbacks to the previous state.
It would be cool if Dropbox had the feature of synchronizing any amount of data between computers without storing this data in the cloud.
