Any way to speed up the synchronisation??

Hi,

I have a dual boot system and I opened a a classic multibit wallet from Linux.

When I came back to Windows it says that it needs to synchronize with the network.

The problem is that it has been synchronizing a full day and it is still in Sept 2014 (my 1st transaction is from Jun 2013).

The fact that I have a slow internet connection won't help, but is there any way to speed up the process?

I was wondering if  there is a way to download the blockchain and do the synchronization locally or something similar

Cheers

There isn't really no.

A pity :-(

And the best way to prevent it happens again?

Create a new wallet in Linux and import a backup for the windows version?

Out of curiosity, what does usually trigger a full synchronization?

full sync is caused when:

+ the last block the wallet saw does not match the last block in the blockstore
AND
+ there is a creation date for a private key missing

MultiBit then has to sync from the genesis block.

THe best thing to do, really, is migrate to MultiBit HD ! The snc is handled a bit better with that code.
