Title: Blockchain download has slowed to a crawl/freezes Post by: Elwar on September 16, 2012, 04:26:23 PM I downloaded a new client Friday, it went through about 75% of the blockchain download at a decent rate.
Then it slowed down with about 20,000 blocks remaining, then eventually froze. I restarted the client and it would go again then slow down again to a halt. I am now at about 9,500 after restarting it off and on over the weekend and it is at the point of giving me one er second or so. I am on a Win7 laptop 4GB Ram, quad 2.5GHZ with plenty hard drive space. Can I just download the chain all at once, then run it through? I am not showing anything out of the ordinary in the task manager performance.
