I'm guessing you're on a VPS. You can bootstrap off a recent point in the blockchain, to save you downloading the full thing, especially if signature verification is holding up the process.

You have only downloaded 139506 of the 299134 bitcoin blocks. It takes about a day to download and verify the blocks on a normal processor and network connection!

This, get a SSD for your linux box, it took me little less than a day.

You may need to do -rescan too once you add an address.

It took me 2 weeks to only get 243613 blocks and it's increasing too slow.
Any reasons? (I followed this [http://linux.ringingliberty.com/bitcoin/] tutorial to install my daemon)

So I'm running bitcoin daemon on Ubunutu, I set it up flawlessly. But, now I tried sending bitcoins to the account and after 30 minutes the balance still shows as 0.00.

Code:
root@coinose:~/.bitcoin# bitcoind getbalance
0.000000

Code:
root@coinose:~/.bitcoin# bitcoind getinfo
{
    "version" : 90100,
    "protocolversion" : 70002,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.000000,
    "blocks" : 139506,
    "timeoffset" : -94,
    "connections" : 13,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 1888786.70535305,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1399234320,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.000000,
    "errors" : ""
}

Also, if I try check a random address, I still get 0.000 balance.

Code:
root@coinose:~/.bitcoin# bitcoind getbalance '183AJDzVDqfbpgsx3HTmqjPAQPZwCvsUmZ'
0.000000
What can I do to fix this? I've setup the RPC user and pass and added a node. But I'm still not sure.
