It seems bitcoin core is no longer syncing for me.  It's stuck at 12 weeks behind and is not processing any more blocks.  When I ran the program 2 weeks ago it was stuck at 10 weeks, and never dug into what was the problem.  But I'd like to move some coins around.

Is there a way to unstick this stuck?  I am on version v0.9.1.0

Are you sure you have enough disk space?

(the blockchain file is pretty big)

What he said plus you need plenty of RAM power to run Bitcoin QT without becoming increasingly frustrating, plus a decent network connection.

If you have these covered and you still have problems the blockchain files must have been corrupted or something. How many nodes are you connecting at? maybe firewall is blocking incoming traffic..

I'm guessing it is a corrupted file.  

I have 9GB free on the drive but have most of the blockchain already.  I'm moving over to 750 GB of unpartitioned drive space that I've got.

I'm running with 24 GB of RAM, and my Internet connection is plenty fast.  I'm assuming the block chain isn't held completely in memory, is it?  I see it is currently at 27GB, so that could be a problem.
