Multibit issues

[bitcoinrocks]

I got a blockchain error in multibit so I did a "Reset Blockchain and Transaction" and now it just says "Connecting...." for the past 10 minutes with no progress in the bar.  Has anyone else seen this?

I deleted the .spvchain file and that looks like it's going to do it.

If your multibit wallet is an old version that was installed a long time ago you might find it takes a long time to sync. New versions come with an updated checkpoints file to speed the syncing up. Generally if the checkpoints file is very old it will take longer to sync.
