(Underpowered) nodes while syncing will usually timeout on new connects (the further you get down the blockchain, the more time it takes to validate new batches of blocks == huge latency for bitcoind)
ed: if it takes 3 days to sync, then i don't know if this node should be running client. For this Supermicro 6-bay Opteron 1381 8GB RAM on Dacentec, it took about 8 hours. That's only 3050 or so on passmark?
(and cpu load xx% doesn't mean so much on a VPS, if you've been running it for days, you are probably throttled heavily)
Topic: Bitcoin core 0.11.0 losing nodes/peers while syncing... (Read 1866 times)
Anyone have this problem or read about it somewhere? While I am syncing my 0.11.0 on windows, over time the 8-12 nodes/peers go from ping time xxx ms to N/A and it stops DL blocks. Is this a rare bug or? It takes about 30-90 mins or so, but it is like they keep disconnecting after a while.
So I have to re-start it and it takes forever to sync the wallet, some days.
Any ideas?

I noticed a low number of connections while syncing my node (Ubuntu VPS) as well. In my case I had close to 100% CPU load I suspected that connections get closed because of that. Now that its synced the number of connections grows steadily. Is your CPU (or maybe RAM) maxed out as well? Another think I could imagine is a connection reset, e.g. if you get a forced disconnect on a DSL line.
I've just setup 3 VPS. Was about to post here. After 3days, none of them have more than 8 connections. Doing a port scan on them, Macs Network Util says port 8333 is open.
I've also tried adding nodes via the addnode=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in bitcoin.conf but no luck either.
As soon as one completed syncing node count went up.

Hey,
I have been syncing for 5 days now and I'm still only at 30GB. Looks like I now get 3 GB a day? The whole blockchain is 60GB and growing...
I run Bitcoin Core version v0.11.0 (64-bit) on OS X 10.10.5
My CPU's are cold, there's very little memory pressure...
Process name CPU% CPU Time Threads
Bitcoin Core 38,2 12:44:25,86 22
My network traffic has huge periods of inactivity, I tried -addnode with 20 peers from blockchain.info/peers but can't get more than 8 outbound and 1 or 2 inbound connections?
I have say this is unworkable, running a full node is too much hassle. Does any one else have these problems?

Windows and linux server is easy to configure. You just need install bitcoin core.
Raspnode is diffrent.
I can say this is safely bitcoin cores fault... Doing the same on my node not to mention its sooo slow at reindexing. Looks like a bug somewhere in the program
This used to happen to me coupled with forever increasing ram usage by bitcoin-qt executable, it turns out it was a memory leak caused by a faulty ram slot (not stick but actual slot in the motherboard). I had to buy a new computer basically, then it worked okay. It sucks when you waste a lot of time trying to solve a problem and then you find out the actual computer was screwed up beyond repair.
Yeah, CPU load goes pretty high while doing sync, jumps between 75-95% or so, most of the time, the RAM usage isn't nearly as bad, but 60-70%.
