I rebuilt the blockchain from a month old backup and then waited two days for it finish rescanning and downloading the missing blocks but it did complete a few minutes ago and I recovered the missing coins. Just took a lot of patience. But since it crossed the million block border performance has been in the toilet.
Glad you could make it work mate! I had a similar issue when syncing my wallet (it had been 3 months since last sync) and it seemed like it would take hours (perhaps even a day) for it to fully sync. It was then that I started looking though the commands from within the debug window and used -dbcache=1024 from within cmd (before launch) for it to sync faster. You should try it out and see if it works for you. Still, I am very disappointed with HTML5Coin, since it hasn't been heard of new development for quite some time. It was a very good coin with strong potential, but if there won't be a community takeover, then I'm afraid that the coin will die soon.
