Second: Close Bitsend client app (I assume you're using the Bitsend QT client version 0.14.0.4)
Third: Go to ~/Library/Application Support/Bitsend/ (that's where your wallet.dat file is stored) and find a file named "peers.dat". Rename it to "peers.old" and restart the client.
If you're comfortable with compiling your own wallet, better download the latest source at https://github.com/LIMXTEC/BitSend/archive/v0.14.0.5.tar.gz , extract it and compile (see doc/build.osx file in the source)
Good luck.
I did it exactly as you have described but I still have the same problem. In the meanwhile am 12 days back and it finds one active connection which seems not to be enough for synchronization. Is it possible to provide a peers list that I can add to the peers.dat manually?
I bet you are still on 0.14.0.4 and behind an IPv6 because:
Bitsend 0.14.0.4 0.14.0.5
IPv4 works works
IPv6 fails works
( see older post of me )
0.14.0.5 was only a fix for the 4,7 MB block.
