Title: Bitcoin-qt stuck syncing
Post by: jb1361 on December 03, 2013, 09:56:16 PM
Syncing is stuck at 3 hours. Occasionally it goes to two hours but then goes back to three. I have tried to reindex but that didn't work.
Any suggestions?

And number of block downloaded increase over time ?

Removing the blockchain and then downloading it again might work. It takes lots of time though, and I cannot guarantee success.

The total blocks are up to date, but it still says 3 hours.

Yes, backup the blockchain files, about 13 GB

I'd rather copying that than waiting for it to sync!  :D :D

Check if you have latest block number in Bitcoin-qt the same as http://blockchain.info/

I've had a problem like this before where it just got stuck syncing, I just restarted the program and let it sync again overnight and it worked fine the next morning. This was on the Mac client (if that matters).
