I torrent to a seedbox, and said seedbox has great access tools and you can install plenty of useful applications like Resilio Sync, Syncthing, etc.
My local server is running Fedora Server OS. I’d like to get an automated 1-way sync up and running, but I’m having a lot of trouble. I was using Syncthing in the past, but it’s really not meant for one way syncs and caused some issues. I’ve been trying to set up Resilio Sync, but on Linux I cannot figure out how to get access to the web UI. Resilio’s own documentation is frustratingly obtuse - it’s great for setting up the service under systemd but then basically has nothing about how to actually get webui access from another machine on the local network, excrot for a reference to a command that doesn’t actually exist.
If anyone either 1) knows how to set up Resilio Sync on a Linux machine such that I can hit the web UI from another machine on my local network or 2) had a better way to set up 1-way sync between my seedbox and my local server, I would love to learn!
I don’t know if this applies to you, but don’t use the compression flag (-z) for files that already is compressed (like video). The transfer will get CPU bound quickly if you have a fast internet connection.
I went from 13 Mbytes/s to 200 by removing the -z flag, and the compression ratio was non-existant anyway.

My understanding of rsync was that it was pretty painfully slow.

How did you “understand” that it would be slow? Did you look at the code?
I use rsync for this purpose and the only notable bottleneck is my download speed, fwiw.
The only time rsync is really slow is when your dealing with millions of small files since it only transfers a single file at a time.
rclone is better in that respect since it transfers multiple files in parallel. I don’t think the speed of a single transfer is going to differ much.
That must have been it, appreciate the clarification.
