Topic: Bitcoin-qt not catching up to the blockchain (Read 4832 times)
While catching up the blockchain in a fresh installation I see the same issue. But the client (bitcoin-qt 0.6.3) continues after exit and re-start. Sometimes the client resumes without restart. So I'm able to fetch the block chain in the normal way. Nonetheless a little insight about this topic would be nice.
I have the same problem. Stuck at 184234 blocks and not catching up.
Does anyone know why this is happening ?

I had this issue on two computers at about the same time in April, I ended up deleting the block chain, and any trace of bitcoin on either computer before trying again.
Hello,
I've had my bitcoin client running for 2 days now and it is still not caught up. Was on 5.x, upgraded to 6.2 today. I have plenty of connections, that is not the problem.
The files blk0001.dat and blkindex.dat in my btc folder are staying the same size and bitcoin-qt is showing that I have downloaded 182553 blocks. It's also saying last downloaded block was 6 days ago. Yesterday it said 5 days ago. As of right now, the latest block is 183572. It only took 2 hours to load the blocks when I first started bitcoin-qt 8 months ago, so 48 hours makes me think something is wrong.
Using W7 64 bit, not a firewall or port issue.
I'd really like to figure this out as I should have been receiving bitcoins since 6 days ago. Got nothing in my wallet since it won't catch up.
The debug log keeps showing these 2 errors in succession, I edited out the hashes a little bit since I'm not sure if publicly displaying that can compromise my anonymity or security.
ERROR: FetchInputs() : dxxxxxxxe4 mempool Tx prev not found f3xxxxxx44
ERROR: CTxMemPool::accept() : FetchInputs failed dxxxxxxx4
I'd appreciate the help, can't post in the help section since I don't have enough posts
Mine did this as well, even though I reset the block chain twice. I've had my bitcoin client running for 2 days now and it is still not caught up. Was on 5.x, upgraded to 6.2 today. I have plenty of connections, that is not the problem.

I was able to complete the blockchain after downloading the snapshot.
(on ubuntu 12.04)
oh, and the block sizes are much larger now, esp thx to that satoshi dice crap.
Whitelisted OP so that he can ask this in the Technical Support forum. I'm guessing this might be a bug that the dev's has yet to fix, or something is wrong with your installation.
Thanks gentlemen.
I deleted the blockchain, it got stuck on the same block again. I deleted it again and used the recommended snapshot and it worked.
It's a non-issue since it's working fine now, but I'm curious as to why it got stuck on the same block twice on both versions.

Strange indeed, i would like to know the answer too. I dont' think it's because of an HDD bad sector or something OS related.

Download a blockchain snapshot from here. No need to wait 2 days more.

Is it completely stuck on 182,553 or just going really slow?
You might try deleting the entire blockchain and have it start from the beginning again. Now that you are on v0.6.2 it should be quick (few hours).
It only took 2 hours to load the blocks when I first started bitcoin-qt 8 months ago,
