Title: Downloading Blocks (MAC)
Post by: abenderlong on June 19, 2011, 10:27:42 AM
So I recently downloaded the Bitcoin client (yesterday). I've been downloading blocks with moderate speed, and got to 130549. I've restarted the Bitcoin client, and I have 8 connections, but the blocks aren't updating. What's the problem?  ???

Just wait longer, the blocks will come.  You can check the latest blockcount here

There is also website where you can download the blocks in a .tar.gz file... I'll try and find the link.
