Try to run the bitcoin client directly from the bitcoin.qt file and not over the shortcut.
Topic: Can't get client to download all the way :< (Read 1722 times)
Did you get it working?
If not you could try to connect to a hub-node http://blockchain.info/hub-nodes,
or you could download a copy of the blockchain from here: http://eu1.bitcoincharts.com/blockchain/
extract the files and put them in the folder where the debug.log file was located.
Or if you are starting fresh and there is no money in your wallet, you could try an
alternative client, like http://electrum-desktop.com/ or http://multibit.org/

That commit looks several months old. I just downloaded and installed the Bitcoin client about a week ago.
Where can I find debug.log? Its not in %ProgramFiles%\Bitcoin with the executable.

Check the block progress. If your connection is slow or it's throttled it can take days (and by retrying you are only making it worse).
Is there a way for me to 'unstick' it without clearing everything out and trying to start over from scratch? To clarify, it has made no progress whatsoever in the last few days. Not even fast enough to keep up with the ongoing growth of the blockchain.
No other applications or protocols are having any issues.

Are you doing the default client? It takes a LONG time....
I think so. I got it from here: http://bitcoin.org/
About window says version 0.7.0-beta.

More than overnight means that something is broken (unless your hardware is very slow or you're running it on truecrypt).Can you post the debug.log someplace (it will include your IP, so don't if you need to keep that private)

I'm afraid I've already nuked it and tried from the start several times. It always gets stuck near the end.
Also make sure you have the newest version (0.7.0 right now),
I think this can happen with old clients.

If you want to check and see if you have corrupt files on disk, you may start with
Stopping and restarting the client will freshen the set of peers, in case you are stuck on something network-related.
Watch debug.log for progress (or lack thereof).

No one has any ideas? 
Sorry, jumped the gun on my post. At ~196700, it just sits there, displaying at the bottom "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! ..." When mousing over, it says "Catching up..." but never actually makes any progress.
I've been trying to get a wallet running for about a week now, and I keep getting stuck in a certain point while downloading. Around ~196700 or so, it stops downloading, and just shows. I assumed this was a corrupted download, but this is fourth time I've tried and end up stuck.
It says I have 21 connections, my hard drive has plenty of space, and my computer is in my router's DMZ.
Is there a known good source I can download these from some other way?
