strangely it was syncing nicely with 7 connections, couple hundred blocks left when i thought i would start the ExclusiveCoind. ( this same thing happened twice. below is from the second time)
then ECCoind started timing out. this is the transition. it just keeps timing out with random blocks being accepted.

after stopping ExclusiveCoind it starts working again.
edit.
as a further bonus. once it was in sync (#687329) with the explorer it started doing this
getblocks 218605 to 00000000000000000000 limit 500
getblocks stopping at limit 219104 8eb1d719662893601a6e

getblocks 218605 to 00000000000000000000 limit 500 x100
then

my debug.log will be gigs by morning at this rate. lol

here's a copy of the first "small" section of my debug.log
http://pastebin.com/edVHdMVxit keeps filling rapidly up with large chunks of getblock requests. large chunks of orphan blockmessages
and small sections of connection timeouts.
