[JuanPabloCuervo]

lots of people have corrupted wallets...

got stuck at:
1 Year 27 weeks behind 346753

-reindex
download started again.
...
got stuck again:
389154
39 weeks behind.

-reindex again.
BitCoin 0.13 started download from 4 years, 175.000.

This is CRAZY!
i have downloaded 10 times the wallet.

is not my hardware... all hardware tests pass ok.
is not a power loss, i have a on-line UPS.
is not a Network thing, All other websites work ok.

First of all, it isn't the wallet that is corrupt but rather Bitcoin Core's databases. They are two different things and have two different meanings.

Can you please post the debug.log?

Also, you are reindexing, you are not redownloading anything. Nothing is being downloading, the blocks are already on your disk and being reprocessed. In fact, I suspect that you somehow got a corrupt block and that is causing the problem.

[JuanPabloCuervo]

why i get so many corrupted blocks?

i have 340.000 blocks.... from complete 0, everything New, Fresh, Clean install..
got stuck, "no new blocks downloaded, waited lots of hours, no new blocks."

did a -reindex and when processing blocks were done, 0.13 started to download from 175.000,
Overwriting Previous Downloaded Blocks, like if they are not there, like if they are all corrupted....

i decided to erase everything because older wallets have a very different file structure...
and not so old, have a 2GB blk.dat file size,

New blk.dat file size is around 130.000 KB

Again, I need to see the debug.log file.

When you reindex, nothing is being redownloaded. When you uninstall and reinstall Bitcoin Core, none of the blockchain or wallet data is being deleted, so the new install will not have be redownloading anything. So, if you have a problem in the blockchain data, it will persist across installs unless you go and delete the blockchain.

i´m not that stupid...
i have completely erased
C:\Users\ThisPC\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\

and also the
..\bitcoin-0.13.0-win64 folder

when i say Fresh, Clean install i mean Fresh Clean Install...

P.S. i´ve seen BitCoin 0.13 overwriting the dat files.

So why don't you post your debug.log? That way we can actually proceed in diagnosing the issue.

Well you've certainly got corrupt blocks.

Check your antivirus, both whatever you installed (if you have one) and Windows defender. Make sure that the Bitcoin data directory is on the exemptions list. The antivirus may be flagging some things in the blocks and removing them thus causing corruption.

Defender is disabled, that Sh!t is useless.
No other real time AV.
