Which wallet are you working with?
Since he/she talked about syncing, he/she must be talking about "full node wallet" because SPV wallets connect to the server that has blockchain(always Sync).
I do not think he/she knows it should download more than 166 GB until synchronization is complete.
Please advise asap to simply how to get this get back to properly syncing. If possible, please advise to
eyeguy1973@gmail.comI do not know what you mean by "properly syncing" but remember that new blocks continuously being created so you must have an active internet to be synchronized. or Follow this tip
Configure Bitcoin Core in pruning mode or use a SPV wallet instead, for example Electrum. In case you want to run a full node, then you will have to wait till it's properly synced. It could take some time as the current blockchain size is over 140 Gb.
