Otherwise you could delete everything on the Bitcoin appdata folder, and let it resync completely. BUt you shoud backup your wallet.dat first. Title: Re: my wallet is saying 66 weeks behind... Post by: jbrnt on May 23, 2014, 10:20:33 PM If you are in a hurry to sent some coins away and don't want to wait days to resync, you can export you private keys from bitcoin core and import them into a light client such as Electrum or Multibit.
If you really would like to use bitcoin core, you can download a "bootscrap.dat" via bittorrent and import it into bitcoin core. It is usually only 2/3 weeks behind.

The link to the bootstrap.dat torrent is https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/bootstrap.dat.torrent (https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/bootstrap.dat.torrent) or you can find it on the bitcoin.org page download page https://bitcoin.org/en/download (https://bitcoin.org/en/download). To find it yourself without trusting these links is to go to the bitcoin home page https://bitcoin.org/en/ (https://bitcoin.org/en/), then getting started,choose your wallet,bitcoin core download,bootstrap.dat.
