Bitcoin QT permanently Out of Sync

[Dizzee]

My bitcoin qt wallet.. that has, through various incarnations, worked fine for a long time.

Then all of a sudden it became (out of sync).
I waited... and waited... but it stayed out of sync
I have reinstalled it
I have deleted the block chains... (+16GB at one time!)
I have deleted everything (except my wallet )
I have tried turn off all running processes (within reason) and just leave it running.
It has firewall access on a good speed network.
Hard Drive space is running out (I have 4 fixed and a sml portable attached.. lowest has only 2.26GB left.. with C drive having 6.2GB remaining)

It currently takes up 5.79* on the hard drive with   ~12121 blocks remaining   ... (I believe it should take about 7.5 fully done). *[C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin]...
Just restarted it... it jumped to   ~20123 blocks remaining  

It still remains out of sync... this has been going on for about 6 months now...

Last Block chain deletion was 3 days ago... after a block chain deletion/re-installation etc.. it seems to synchronize with network normally, the block chain remaining counter goes down as expected... then it just grinds to a halt... or so slow that it appears that way.

Win 8 x64

Please any suggestions.

Hi, did you check the event viewer for some kind of harddrive errors?
I'll try to save backup (private keys) and completely delete the bitcoin qt folder (i'm not sure for Windows as I'm a linux fan myself, but it should be located in the user profile folder somewhere - c:\users\<username>\..)

Regards

so... I've been away all weekend.. yay  
on return it says   ~20372 blocks remaining   .. how's that figure out... I have more blocks remaining than when it started!

I have already deleted everything before.. except my wallet... I'll try again this time doing a hard drive check before re-installation.


edit:           ~220021 blocks remaining     

21xxxx by the time I finished typing

I'm not sure it will help or not but try to use -reindex command.
Make a shortcut and put command and then run it.

I get 25 down and 5 up. My rig is a i7 8 gigs rams and a gtx 650ti 2gig. I just don't understand it has caught up to the current block but still has not sync?

There could be a few reasons for this but im going to poke at its possibly your ISP not liking you downloading all the P2P traffic...
theres a few solutions to this such and downloading a VPN to see if you can bypass your ISPs traffic management
proxpn.com does a free on but has extreme limits on bandwith (its free though)

or if you want to try other ways you could try closing the bitcoin wallet restarting the computer and opening the bitcoin wallet again (solves alot of problems)

current blockchain size is around the 8.7GB mark
also is your wallet atually connecting to the network

you will find that your ISP will limit the speed as it uses the P2P protocols which ISPs hate due to it using more of there network

I guess it could be my ISP. Although i have done 60gig downloads before and never got a letter or email about bandwidth. I tried a complete restart already and im doing a reindex now. If this does not work ill look into VPN. I do get a connection usually around 8-10 connections. My blockchain size is 9.10gigs?

its not the fact that your using to much its the fact that you downloading using p2p protocols can affect time sensitive data like video calling so most ISP just limit P2P during peek times or once youve used so much data, the UK is really really bad for doing this and the worst one of all is Virgin media who can drop a 100mbps connection down to a crawl

I see. Do you think if i call my ISP they would tell me if im using to much?
