Why did it take so long?  Seems the most frustrating part with btc.

Your client needs to download the entire blockchain which is a log of every transaction that ever happened on the bitcoin network. This is how it's kept secure, by having everyone hosting the entire transaction log.

You might want to try this site to earn a few micro bitcoins. Will show you that your wallet is working.

Hello,

Well just downloaded my PC based Bitcoin Wallet -  it took pretty much 24 hours to sync with the network - it seemed never ending.

My Wallet ID is:-
1E1QES4JZYCdnuQeuoDd7hrXTgSXM1FQ4r

Would it be possible for someone to send a fraction of a bitcoin to it, and I'll send it straight back...

just for testing purposes,

Thanks, hope this post doesn't violate any rules.
