Programming using RTS and DTR lines

Hi to all!

Up until now I was programming the ESP8266 by manually placing the GPIO-0 to ground and using a button I was reseting the module! But a few hous ago I was trying to use this circuit:

It says that if I do that I don't have to use my old method and the Arduino IDE will handle everything by itself. https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob ... /boards.md

I've build the circuit but nothing is happening! The USB to Serial converter I am using is flashing a couple of times and the ESP07 blue led is flashing a couple of times too. But the Arduino IDE is saying
Code: Select allwarning: espcomm_sync failed
error: espcomm_open failed


What am I doing wrong? I've checked and double checked the circuit and I've implemented correctly! Do I have to select something special from the IDE?

PS: If this circuit works as it supposed to do... I will have the serial monitor after that?
