Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing issues with Bitcoin-Core 64-bit on Windows 7. I have used the command line argument -datadir=H:\AppData\Bitcoin to download the blockchain to my external HDD. This has been working fine. All of a sudden, the software says "Synchronising with network. . ." and is working veeeeeery slooooooowly. Overnight, it's gone from approximately 1 year 25 weeks behind to 1 year 10 weeks behind. Any idea what I should do?
How much memory do you have on the machine? Perhaps you are connected to a slow peer? How is your external drive connected? USB?
[Edit:post above me that suggested this was removed:] You no doubt know, but Blockchain support wouldn't be appropriate here since this is Bitcoin core, not blockchain.info.
