Tip : Sync game folders across LAN via Bittorrent Sync
I have four Artemis-capable machines on my home LAN. Sometimes one doesn't get updated when a new mission, artwork, or other tweak is deployed.
Sure, I could have set up LAN shares or written some scripted thingy--but this is a 700Kb app that just plain works. I'm now using Bittorrent Sync to make a "read-only" synchronization from the main PC out to the rest of the machines on the LAN. Right now I'm pushing only the art and dat folders. This helps keeps the missions all in sync.
Bonus: since it's peer-to-peer and has the uncanny ability to blow through firewalls, Bittorrent Sync could even be used to sync a set of missions across to Internet-connected machines.
