Are there plans to get U1 syncing only changes in files? It seems like anytime I listen to a sync'd song, it re-uploads the whole song instead of just the (very small) part where Banshee incremented the listens count and what ever else happens when I listen.
If I remember correctly, Dropbox handles this more gracefully. Does anyone have any answer about plans like this for U1?
Ubuntu One doesn't sync changes, but uploads whole file instead, no matter how small the change is. It's because of Amazon S3 protocol on which Ubuntu One is built on.
If this was resolved Ubuntu One could save a lot of money every month. Imagine the reduction in bandwidth Ubuntu would have to pay, and at 10 cents a GB it would add up.
