EDIT: I still have an old electrum.dat if that matters.

You could just have opened the old wallet file using file > open.

Ah, it worked instantly this time. The last time I tried it, it sat there reporting "Synchronizing..." for an hour without any progress.

Synchronization should take a few seconds, not minutes.
In some cases the synchronization process fails, and it shows 'synchronizing' forever; I will try to fix that in the next release.

Yeah - that can happen "Synchronizing".  Best to close and restart.  If that doesn't work try a different server.

Glad you are all set!

I saw another topic with this name, but thought it would be a better idea to start a new topic for my own problem.

I have an old seed, from one of the original releases, and I've checked that at least a few of the words are in the old words list. Should it take a long time to recover history from such a seed? I assume it could probably take hours, or possibly days.

EDIT: I still have an old electrum.dat if that matters.

If you have the seed it will take no time at all.

Just download the 2.1.1 version, recover wallet, enter seed, enjoy...
