There is a lot of irrelevant stuff in the log. This is what a block download looks like:

as long as you see continuing block downloads, everything is fine. The number of blocks remaining is obtained from a calculation of the most recent block number from multiple peers - if you don't have enough peers for consensus, or one is sending you bad data, then Bitcoin will use block 216116 as the best height in it's display calculations instead.

[If there's a way to attach images, I'd post screen shots.?]

Today (and other days) the blocks remaining jumps from ~6800 to ~14500,
and now it's at ~6100.

The last;
receive version message: version 70001, blocks=233433
from debug.log
but on the status shows ' of 225430 blocks of transaction history'

Something wrong or just normal?
