'Decentralize Your Data' Round 1: Data Backup Competition

    Update: we've changed the client and removed the 20GB upload limit for the next version. That version is not likely to be released for a while, but it's no longer a requirement that you break up the backup into chunks smaller than 20GB.

    My entry is almost ready, I'm just facing some really obscure bugs, which are very much testing my patience.

    And here's the source: https://github.com/Fornax96/SiaFileManager MIT license and all.

    EDIT: Here's the download link for the first beta: http://pixeldra.in/u/eSek3P (Requires JVM 8 or higher)
    Please let me know what you think and if you find any bugs.

    This version allows you to download files: http://pixeldra.in/u/QZKOkM

    To download select file on the File Browser tab (using shift click or crtl click) and press the download button on the top of the window. This also works for files which were not uploaded using SFM, on the "Other Sia Files" tab.

    Okay, got java 8 working. What command do I run to get the program working? Did this:

    [email protected] ~/sia/sfm $ ls
lib  sfm.tar.gz  SiaFileManager.jar
[email protected] ~/sia/sfm $ java -jar SiaFileManager.jar 
Error: Could not find or load main class nl.fornax.SiaFileManager

    You need to install the "openjfx" package. At least, that's what it's called in Ubuntu.

    I'm going to play with different UI toolkits to check if they're more user friendly. Currently looking at SWT, which looks pretty nice.

    I don't really have a lot of time to write code anymore, so I don't know when I'll get to it.

    Why sia has the filesize limit? Isn't it supposed to handle issues like this by itself and not by using a counterpart software?

    Which version are you using? We haven't updated the website just yet but the most recent version does not have a filesize limit. This announcement was made back when there was a filesize limit, but that's no longer an issue.

    Most recent version: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-UI/releases/tag/v0.5.1-beta

    I'm just reading the OP post, sorry. It's good to hear that actually there is already no limit in sia. Thank you for the reply.
