#live sync

Until now, I've been mostly using Live Mesh, and before that Live Sync, to synchronize my files between my laptop and computer.

Now, I can hear you thinking 'what, why the hell don't you use DropBox or SugarSync'? Well, first of, I AM using them. Literally BOTH of them. But here's the situation:

I have massive folders of like 40 GB, with school projects and virtual machines and the like, that I NEED to keep synchronized between laptop and desktop WITHOUT a cloud solution.

I CANNOT AFFORD the additional space on either DropBox or SugarSync that I would require to synchronize these massive hulking directories. And yes, trust me, I have absolutely NOTHING in my SkyDrive. It's completely empty.

But well, in February, the Live Mesh solution is going to STOP, placing SkyDrive there as new solution. With their all new '7 GB cloud space'. Except... I.. DONT NEED A CLOUD, I NEED A PEER-TO-PEER SOLUTION. Just between laptop. And desktop.

No cloud at all.

But ofcourse, there is NOTHING that offers free automated synchronization between two machines without a cloud. Literally NOTHING. Or you'd have to 'schedule it'. Newsflash: I often need my data synced real time. That's why I have DropBox and SugarSync for smaller folders.

So yeah. I'm screwed.
