Title: My MBPS is 1.5, is that enough to be able to sync wallets Post by: Sweetrevenge on February 24, 2014, 01:31:28 AM Hello, my current ISP is providing 1.5 MBPS, but when I run my bitcoin wallet, it doesn't automatically sync. IS 1.5 MBPS too slow to sync bitcoin wallets?

IS 1.5 MBPS too slow to sync bitcoin wallets? You should be fine. What OS? Version? How long have you left it running? Etc. :-) Title: Re: My MBPS is 1.5, is that enough to be able to sync wallets Post by: Sweetrevenge on February 24, 2014, 02:08:55 AM Windows 7, I've had it running for the past hour, but its showing the 'no internet' icon in the bottom right corner of the wallet. Is there something else I have to do?
Edit: Windows 7 enterprise 64 bit edition Title: Re: My MBPS is 1.5, is that enough to be able to sync wallets Post by: grifferz on February 24, 2014, 05:12:11 AM Yes. You will spend more time having the client verify the blocks. That will be CPU-bound. Expect it to take 5+ days.

Title: Re: My MBPS is 1.5, is that enough to be able to sync wallets Post by: Sweetrevenge on February 24, 2014, 05:27:22 AM OK, if I shut off my computer, will it have to start from the very beginning or does it start where it leaves off?

Where it leaves off. It would not make sense to start over each time.
