Use of Syncthing as a download server possible?

[synci]

Hi

I am brand new to ST.

Would it be possible to use Syncthing as a download server only?

I know there is an option to ignore files but would it be possible to ignore all and specify which files or directories can be synced?

This has been called “selective sync” here. Syncthing does not do this, and while I cannot speak for them the Syncthing team has indicated that they’re not interested in developing such a feature (Selective Sync Feature(most important)).

There’s an admittedly ugly workaround that seems feasible: Idea: Workaround for Selective Sync .

Maybe not interested in developing the feature, but certainly open to accept as a contribution if someone does take up the challenge.
