Topic: Bitcoin client not downloading new blocks (Read 2843 times)
Mine is stuck at the exact same block too :/
Mine is working now i had to delete the chain 3 times befor it would download it all without spiting out a error about needing to upgrade or my nodes need to upgrade.
Same problem here and i deleted all but my wallet and it was ok till it got to 177617 then it stoped downloading them and showed the same error.
Error? You mean the warning saying that it hasn't finished catching up?
So, step 1. Make sure you are on version 0.6.2.
Step 2. The blockchain is large ... 2 GB. Check disk space to ensure you aren't running out of space.
Step 3. How many connections? Hover over the "ascending bars" in the bottom right of the client. It will tell you how many connections you have.

I have the same problem. --rescan didn't help. I just deleted the blockchain. It's re-downloading now.
Deleted blk0001 and blkindex and went to bed, woke up and all is ok, thanks for the help
The OP already said he is running 0.6.2
0.6.2 supposedly fixes a theoretical attack that could cause clients to not keep up with the network but it seems to contain a bug that results in it not keeping up with the network .
My client hasn't updated in 22 hours, I updated after seeing the news, but it still isn't working and is displaying the "WARNING: Displayed transactions may not be correct..." message

I also had the problem that 0.6.2 didn't download any blocks after installation.
I am using the linux version on Centos 6
It had 8 connections to the bitcoin network but no blocks downloading.
It started working when I manually told it to connect to another nodes
./bitcoin-qt -addnode=91.210.181.21
I think there is a bug in there somewhere.
Thinking about deleting the database and letting it redownload, would that help?
It's blk0001.dat and blkindex.dat right?
It's blk0001.dat and blkindex.dat right?
Yup, that's the brute-force way. delete those two and restart.
You might first want to try, for shits and giggles, -rescan
e.g., bitcoin-qt -rescan
but it still isn't working and is displaying the "WARNING: Displayed transactions may not be correct..." message
How many connections are you getting (bottom right corner, hover over computer icon or icon with bars, like cell phone signal indicator)?
8

you probably should just download the transactions thru your web browser and put it in your client.
Hmm... how do I do that? Have a wiki article?
Yea, I'm running 0.6.2

Do you have the latest version (6.2)? There is a critical bugfix in it for a denial-of-service attack.
