It just took awhile, chugging along downloading blocks,  but I received my bitcoins from MtGox

It still says 135049 blocks.  Do I have to shut it down and restart it?

Wouldn't hurt.

 you should also check your firewall , you need to open ports to have the client working well

Is it so that I will pay the "Optional transaction fee per KB" ?  "Fee 0.01 recommended.".     Grin

Check your receiving address in blockexplorer. You may already have them but just not know you have them.
http://blockexplorer.com/

If your client doesn't have at least 138,544 blocks, it isn't caught up to now.


That's it,  block explorer shows that I've received them, but my client only shows 135049 blocks.

Why is it taking so long?   it still shows 135049 blocks.

Did you tell MtGox to send them to an address on your client at home?  And did you give your client enough time to download the blockchain?

Did you withdraw them from your account and send them to your wallet?

You just need to wait for the block chain to confirm. You can always check blockexplorer.com for the status.

I bought some bitcoins on MtGox.  My wallet software is running.  How long does it take for them to get from MtGox to my desktop?

Thanks.
