Please push the latest version of the source and if possible please try to keep the source current at all times because your downloads are being flagged as malicious by Google Chrome.

***Edit***
They are most likely being flagged as malicious because you are packaging cgminer with the client, cgminer is technically a brute-force password cracker.

Good point Bob---- thanks for noticing this;
I'll see if I can buy a Thawte code signing license for Gridcoin... theyre pretty expensive but may be worth it....

Syncing Update:
6.0 seems to be going relatively good, breaking the problem up into 2 pieces:
1) Not able to sync even after restarting Gridcoin <----------- I believe 6.0 fixed this one
2) Client stops talking to peers, 4500 internal gridcoin peers (debug log says Connection Failure)  - Looks to user like a sync issue, but a restart fixes this.

If we can confirm #2 is the only issue left regarding syncing, Ill focus on #2 next.

My sync issues seem to be gone but I am having problems where my client stops communicating with my miner which I assume is due to problem #2.

It seems to be happening (at least for me) whenever I have found a block as my cgminer displays a found block and then immediately displays that "pool 0 is down" and caches the submission until it is stale, then it usually shows a few more new blocks and then "pool 0 is down" shows permanently until restart.

You should do fairly well on solo with 500 KH/s

No, it only deletes the blocks and the chainstate; but it is a good idea to back your wallet up regularly.

Thanks-- I didn't think we would find the comm issue in the same place; but I'll be looking at that next... Maybe #1 & #2 are related to the same stale block bug; possibly marking the loopback node as DoS attacked etc... Ill check.

New Version Available (1.1.4.7/6.2/48): Upgrade from the RPC: Yes.

In this version we improve the resilience of the peer network in hopes to solve part II of the syncing issue so that
no reboot is required.

I've tried to DL the qt 3 times and then tried the .msi file and still won't sync up. Keeps getting stuck at 8-9 days behind even after I restart it. Someone please help, I can't figure out how to fix it.

Try using the "Rebuild Block Chain" option, it seems to fix just about everything for me.

 I can't find that option. My mining console won't start up and neither will the project console

It's in the wallet to the right of "Projects"
