My Wallet is not connecting to Bitcoin network

[phoenixone]

My Wallet is not connecting to Bitcoin network.   The last time it was running the block took over two weeks and when it arrived just over 70% it stopped working.  Now I try each day to get the wallet to connect to get in sync again but no luck yet.  What can I do?  I downloaded Bitcoin Core - Wallet (testnet) and the bottom message Connecting to peers states 6 years and 31 weeks behind.  I installed my original wallet in 2011

if it don't sync
probably antivirus or firewall blocking it from the server
try allowing it.
you will need a lot of hard disk space to download all of the blockchain...

you can still try to transfert your key to a new version

This is why I do and dont recommend the btc qt wallet.

It takes forever if you dont keep tabs on downloading the blockchain which is what your computer is catching up on.. so I recommend leave the computer on however long it takes to access your btc and download the other btc wallet choices that doesnt need to download the whole chain each time you want to access bitcoin.

You got 2 choices which are multibithd and electrum? and then theres mobile apps as well.

First, don't use testnet but mainnet.
If your firewall is correctly set and you have no warning rom your anti-virus, this is probably your database or an corrupted index (when the wallet stopped to work).
The best is to save your wallet and begining again the blockchain download (delete the database and the indexes).

The blockchain is quite large now so it will take quite a bit of time to fully sync Bitcoin Core. A lightweight wallet such as Electrum will sync up a lot quicker and is generally recommended for ease of use. Otherwise, prepare to wait at least a week or more for the wallet to fully sync.
