BitTorrent removes limits from free version of Sync

Not long ago, I expressed my disappointment with BitTorrent‘s 2.0 release of their Sync software. My main beef was that they had introduced a ten-folder limit on the free version, thereby rendering it almost useless.

Well, apparently BitTorrent listened to the complaints, because the just-released Sync 2.2 removes the ten-folder limit from the free version.

This is great news, especially since I’ve been unable to find a reliable replacement for Sync. Kudos to BitTorrent for listening to users and reverting the earlier decision.
