hi, I wanted to use bitcoind.exe for some bot purposes, and I have been running bitcoind overnight.....its been almost 10-15 hours! Is this how long its supposed to take? All I see is this in the log (example):

addUnchecked(): size 665
CTxMemPool::accept() : accepted 8bbd5867ac
askfor tx a0362243018272153503   0
sending getdata: tx a0362243018272153503
addUnchecked(): size 666
CTxMemPool::accept() : accepted a036224301
received getdata for: tx a0362243018272153503
askfor tx 14edb9b53eb882d9f2ce   0
sending getdata: tx 14edb9b53eb882d9f2ce
addUnchecked(): size 667
CTxMemPool::accept() : accepted 14edb9b53e

I added the necessary conf files also...

.....just play satoshidice.com  I lost 10 BTC to pirate and got quite a bit more back from playing satoshidice.com. I almost invested more into pirate, but it just didn't feel right
