Ethereum Wallet (Geth) Sync

[ps_jb]

Have a problem with synchronizing

It stops on 618k

System: Win10, 8GB RAM, 25Gb free disk space, firewall is not blocking the wallet

Tried:

1) Stop and restart wallet
2) Sync with NIST time and restart the wallet
3) Switch to experimental Eth 1.2.4 network

Nothing helped

Try increasing the cache with "--cache=1024". If this doesn't help, kill the blockchain db with "removedb" and reload it with "--fast".

I've started GUI version - to do commands you've recommended, should I go to the directory where wallet installed and use cmd?

Yes. I recommend to make a backup of your keyfiles first!

Start cmd and cd to "C:\Program Files\Ethereum-Wallet\resources\node\geth" (the name of the installation folder can be different on your machine).
Run "geth removedb" and then "geth --fast --cache=1024". You can stop the program with ctrl+c.
