Multibit not sync

[bitbollo]

I have encountered problem with MultiBit-0.5.14. My MultiBit wallet never sync.
I know there is also a new version MultiBit-0.5.18 but I can't find and I don't want risk my private keys or something else...
Why never sync?
Sometimes stop at 40% other times at 75% but never can't sync completely.
What i have to do? Why there is this issue?

MultiBit 0.5.14 is quite old now - it dates from September 2013.

Bitcoin is still an experiment (though I know we all forget this) and so there are tweaks and bug fixes all the time.

You are probably going to have to upgrade to 0.5.18 to try that out.


If you are worried about your wallets then it's an excellent opportunity to refresh your backups, which can never do any harm. Personally I:

Keep a copy of the wallet, info file and the wallet data directory (where the automatic backups are):
+ locally on my hard drive
+ on two separate USB drives that I store separately.

Then the upgrade is a simple install of 0.5.18

Hi to all,
Thank you for your replies, finally, I get the new version of Multibit!  

Today something of strange happened... The total of the wallet was 0,50 when I know a 0,05 max in this wallets.
Maybe, and old version of Multibit don't have never sync correctly? (My first think)...
I try to send to another wallet, but it say 0 node...
Try again and same issues... I decide to sync again and it show the "correct" fund (obviously) 0,05.
Actually when I received a payment it don't refresh, I have to make another sync (this make me sadly)...
It's a problem of my internet connection? Pc setting? Multibit setting?
(I have a connection really bad taht sometimes go off line every 5 - 10 minutes.)... (this make me so nervous)  
Any suggestion? Multibit-Hd is much better and faster?!? Is likely better for my actually situation?

I find with classic sometimes you have to wait until the transaction confirms before you see it in the UI.
