Script creates .deb package for bittorent sync binary. Usage: 1. Create directory and place script in 2. Exec script with parameters <btsync_version> <debian_arch> <deb_packet_version> Example ./btsync_create_deb.sh 1.0.132 amd64 1 Only i386 and amd64 debian_arch supported right now. 3. ... 4. Profit!

Description: BitTorrent Sync synchronizes your files using a peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol.                                                                                           
 This protocol is very effective for transferring large files across multiple devices, and is very similar to the powerful protocol used by applications like µTorrent and BitTorrent.
 The data is transferred in pieces from each of the syncing devices, and BitTorrent Sync chooses the optimal algorithm to make sure you have a maximum download and upload speed during the process.
