I'm looking for an application to sync my music and video collection across computers. A cursory search across sourceforge didn't turn up anything useful. Does anybody know of any free software that can help me do this?
 
There's some command-line stuff like rsync available. I've used it in a domain environment and it worked okay. Kinda a ***** to setup and test, but you use windows task scheduler to automate things and then forget about it. It has checksum verification and such too, so it's got a fail safe to ensure the synchronization is successful.
 
Windows has it's integrated "briefcase" sync scheme you could try, i use it with website files and outlookpst files from work / home.
