I just sent myself some BTC from Mt. Gox. How long until it shows up?

It's scaring me that Mt. Gox shows the withdrawal, but I don't see the deposit in the Bitcoin-Qt app.

What address was it sent to?

When did you install the Bitcoin client? Do you see a "tick" (green OK icon) at the bottom right corner of the program?
If you don't, then you haven't finished downloading the blockchain. You must wait until it's completed 100%.

Transactions for BTC withdrawals from Mt. Gox generally get announced to the network immediately.  Because no fee is included the transaction may not get included in a block right away -- especially if it is for a trivial amount (e.g., under 1 BTC).

If you aren't seeing it in Bitcoin-qt, check in something like http://www.BlockChain.info to see if the transaction has been announced but is pending inclusion in a block yet.

Thanks!  I dont see the green check yet..  it's rotating yellow circle!  How long does it take to fully download?

It can take a day or 2.  If you have one of the newer clients, click on the client, hover your mouse icon over the circle, and it should tell you how far along you are.

Never did get my last withdrawal from Mt.Gox. I won't put anymore in there until they figure it out.

Was a "Low" priority for them. (not much money, but still, missing withdrawals is not really low priority in my book)

Edit: kept checking the blockchain for the TX, never did appear. Found a deposit from a casino that way that went to their address, rather than mine - they don't want to deal with that either)

I got the green check, and the transfers showed up!  Thanks for all of your help.

It's about 1.5GB now to download, usually limited by your internet connection in my experience.

It took a long time for me.  I got tired of waiting and took a long nap (gone for the weekend) and it was there when I got back.  YMMV.
