Hello! Suddenly my Bitcoin QT stopped syncing without me touching it. The behind-time kept increasing without downloading any new blocks.
I cleared out my blockchain and now it just sits like this: https://i.imgur.com/tgTYkJH.png
The client also says "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or others need to upgrade." I am already running the latest client. And I even tried redownloading it, but no change. Do I need to use the beta or what?

You should try to delete the blkindex.dat file and the blockchain file then try again.  
Edit: You can also get a snapshot of the whole blockchain from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/blockchain/

I deleted the whole blocks folder. I have no blkindex.dat.
I can try getting that snapshot, but I'm not sure it would help since it isn't downloading any more blocks, unless I want to manually download snapshots for the rest of my life..

It got stuck like that on me a few years ago, after I used the snapshot I was able to sync.  But I gave up on QT a while ago, blockchain is just too big, using electrum now.  Anyway, when you say you redownloaded it, did you also remove all files from the appdata folder when you uninstalled?  Wish I could help more but last version I used was .6 or something.

Thank you, downloading the snapshot made it work for some reason. I am now fully synced again, and no warning about old version. Smiley

SAME problem here - and also started only 3 days ago (NEVER had problems before)
No obvious reason for it to happen...
