LiveChains.net have the entire botcoin blockchain available as a download 10.2GB.

You can verify the chain easily enough once installed, that might be a usefull alternative if you cant complete a sync. I believe the BTC Chain is 2 days old right now, but there is an update in progress

WTF Now it's syncing.. Thank you Elders of the Internet.  
I will let you know if it keeps working. I deleted all the user data and reinstalled the new beta and its working now. I overwrote an older version the last time it stopped. I am going to wait to change the wallet.dat file to my own when if finishes downloading the BC.

I am having a problem where my bitcoin.qt won't sync with the blockchain. The problem started about 2 weeks ago and I tried a few simple things to fix it like reinstalling the program, deleting the blockchain and wallet.dat files. When I delete the blockchain and start from 0 it never gets past day one. Non of this worked so I decided not to spend anymore time with it as I was going to format my computer in the next few days killing 2 birds with one stone as they say. So I format the PC the other day, install bitcoin.qt and it starts syncing just fine. After a while it gets too 84 days behind and it's been stuck there ever since. I have also tried syncing it using a my cell phones data network to eliminate it being a network error. I have a clean OS on a separate hard-drive, I am going to put btc.qt on there and see what happens. I would appreciate any suggestions or help anyone has as I am running out of ideas as to what the problem might be.
Edit: The client is showing I have 15 connections and one of the connection bars is green.
