Title: Client stuck at ~130k blocks not downloading anymore blocks
Post by: 99bitcoins on June 27, 2011, 04:36:29 AM
My client is not downloading anymore blocks. It's stuck at block 130687 with 1 connection. What's a normal number of connections I need to have?

8 connections is normal... sounds like the peer that you are connected to only has 130K blocks.

Why am I not getting more connections, how can I get more (I'm in Newbie section for a reason it seems :P)?

Exit bitcoin, delete addr.dat, then restart.

I didn't, I've just left it running and forgotten about it, still not working.

Is there a way to force a peer connection to someone outside of your current connections if you do not have a fully updated block list?
