Topic: Bitcoin sync always behind (Read 3893 times)
Thank you everyone - reindexing worked and I looked into other clients. I wasn't aware that it's not neccessary to download the whole blockchain.
Ok, so it's 0,02% progress per hour, equals now to four weeks continous numbers crunching... that can't be right?
You can restart bitcoin core with -dbcache=1500 or more depending on your system hardware, it will speedup the process.
You will need to reindex the blockchain. Start Bitcoin Core with the -reindex option. Note that this is a command line option for when you start Bitcoin Core, NOT something you enter into Core's debug console. For specific instructions on how to start Core with -reindex, we need to know what OS you are using.
this is the correct solution wich was given by achow101 : you indeed have to launch your wallet with the -reindex option.

Have you considered using a light client or do you need the redundancy of a full blockchain on your system? Electrum works quite well for regular use.

I'm a new user, Bitcoin Core v0.13.2 and a Bitcoin\blocks folder with over 101 GB. I was behind the current state for months now (it's 18 weeks today after months of catching up) and seriously wondered why the initial start took so long :-)
I upgraded to 0.14 today. It verified the existing blocks and there's a new popup when starting that the last part of the sync is going to take three days. I'll keep an eye on the progress bar.

Another solution would be to delete folder with blocks or just all blocks downloaded.It will download from start without problems.

Hello,
I have had bitcoin core on my laptop for almost a year now, I had no problems being fully up to date with block chain sync until recently it wouldn't update and kept saying "connecting to peers", I realised I needed to update my wallet so I upgraded to 0.14. Since the upgrade it's stuck on 2 weeks behind for several days now.
I never had this problem before and it seems my sync will not catch up, does anyone know how I can troubleshoot and resolve???
Thanks
