We've actually kicked around the concept of using Bittorrent Sync a bit here
before, but being closed source left us thinking we should find an open-source
alternative to start from. Haven't investigated further (yet). Any (other)
leads?
Thanks for the tip on Murder.

Geo-Replication
This is an interesting post:
http://blog.bittorrent.com/2013/09/10/sync-hacks-how-to-use-bittorrent-sync-as-geo-replication-for-storage/
I'm not necessarily recommending it, but it's an interesting way to create a
geo-rep solution. It's copied from Theron Conrey's original blog post on the
subject -

Next step, for someone who wanted to continue this line of thought to its
logical conclusion, is to perhaps use Murder, an open source project from
Twitter:

Murder is an unfortunately-named project for deploying binaries and code across
a massively scaled web environment. It might be interesting to apply it to the
geo-rep context.
