Sparkleshare depends on git, which is ok for regular files but problematic for music/videos/etc, and I have some privacy concerns because it uses a public irc server for notifications. Melissi is still on alpha version, but it uses the "right" technologies for this kind of thing. You can also check out Owncloud <http://owncloud.org/>, but this is based on Webdav so your files are only in the cloud. You can't access them when you are offline. Which I find annoying. PS. It would be nice to share with us the rest software stack you are currently using on your home server. -- Nikos Roussos about <http://autoverse.net/> | linkedin<http://gr.linkedin.com/in/comzeradd>
