Some files are continuously uploaded to the server, even when they are not modified.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is possible that another program is changing the modification date of the file.
If the file is uses the ``.eml`` extension, Windows automatically and
continually changes all files, unless you remove
``\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PropertySystem\PropertyHandlers``
from the windows registry.
See http://petersteier.wordpress.com/2011/10/22/windows-indexer-changes-modification-dates-of-eml-files/ for more information.
Syncing breaks when attempting to sync deeper than 50 sub-directories, but the sync client does not report an error (RC=0)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sync client has been intentionally limited to sync no deeper than
fifty sub-directories, to help prevent memory problems.
Unfortunately, it, *currently*, does not report an error when this occurs.
However, a UI notification is planned for a future release of ownCloud.
