Title: Armory synchronizing with network since last year
Post by: awesome31312 on October 17, 2014, 07:28:40 PM
Hello, I've been trying to synchronize on Ubuntu, every time it just says "Oh too slow using torrent blahblahblah" then snaps back to 0%, Then I restart it. Cycles been going on for a year now.

Are you using the most updated version?

There is something wrong with your set up. You haven't really given enough information for anyone to figure it out.

I just yesterday synced Armory 0.92.3 from scratch on a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04.1. It took less than 20 hours start to finish.

This was on an ancient (5+ years old) laptop with a Core2Duo running at 1.8Ghz and 3Gb of RAM. I did, however, replace the HDD with a cheap SSD.

Guess it's not designed to run on low end laptops, like mine:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3317U CPU @ 1.70GHz
4 GB RAM

I should upgrade for armory

Again, are you running an up-to-date version?  You said this problem has been going on for a year  ???

I don't think it has something to do with CPU & RAM too. I have shittier PC and it works just fine mate

Did it again today, this is pissing me off. It's stuck on initializing torrent engine

Sounds like a setup snafu. You should make a ticket and attach your log files

I've pinpointed the source of the problem. It's not so much an Armory issue as it is an external issue.

When my device goes into sleep mode, the Wireless adapter is disabled, thus disallowing Armory from synchronizing with the network
