Progress bar gone?

[brubits]

The [synchronizing with network] progress bar is now missing?

It looked like this until sometime yesterday:

Now it's all blank except for the indicators on the far right,
because it's over block 228000 now?

That could mean that your client is fully synchronized with the network. If so, you should see a green checkmark on the lower right.

It's still have 35 days of blocks to DL...

This could mean that you aren't connected to enough other nodes to obtain consensus about what the current best block is.

I can see by the "bars" icon that you have a limited number of node connections. This is expected if you are directly connecting to another one of your own computers using the --connect option. If you are connecting to the public network, you should forward port 8333 in your Internet router to the machine running Bitcoin, or enable the option "Map port using UPnP" in Bitcoin to attempt this automatically.

While it's just downloading blocks, it's connected to a ip address from a 'Running Bitcoin Nodes by Region (United States)' site.
connect=<ip>

It's the only way I know to prevent all the duplicate block errors?

So it seems if it doesn't use the block # from the connection;
'receive version message: version 70001, blocks=234100,'
and the default # is less than the current highest, then the progress bar isn't displayed.
