Using "exit" twice usually helps in exiting the daemon. I'll let someone else answer your other question, since I don't know that for sure.
I'm running 32 bit Ubuntu 14 on a netbook with an SSD over public library wifi.
I need to download about another 155,000 blocks and not getting anywhere. Just running bitmonerod without any flags is much too slow, so I tried some of the suggestions from this thread. I tried a command that molecular posted for connecting to a single node and that didn't help. I tried the --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 flag and that didn't help. Just now I tried bitomonerod without any flags again:
Now it won't even exit. I gave the command ten minutes ago. So just for the hell of it I checked status:
What to do, what to do...

The daemon will start synchronizing with the network. It may take up to several hours.
You can set the level of process detailization* through "set_log" command*, where is between 0 (no details) and 4 (very verbose).
Use "help" command to see the list of available commands.
Note: in case you need to interrupt the process, use "exit" command. Otherwise, the current progress won't be saved.

how are you starting mining.
If you are starting it in simplewallet, you can add a thread count after the command. For example:
start_mining 2
If you start it on the bitmonerod command line with "--start-mining address" then you can add "--mining-threads thread-count"
I will play with that. thanks.
tried various formations of that. Success with running bitmonerod, then:
start_mining address 2
couldn't make it happen from simplewallet, probably just me, but figured to document it here in case there's any other noobs that can learn from it.
thanks

Usually your cache size divided by 2 MB.

What's more important, equipment or connection?
Both.
Solo mining XMR is very much a long shot. Think of it like a raffle. Maybe someday you will get some free coins, usually you won't. The main advantage of it is helping the network, so it is definitely encouraged.
If you want to get a small (to very small) amount of coins quickly then pool mining is better. I you want more coins it is better to buy them.
Just adding my minuscule bit to the network, not concerned with the reward, so solo is fine.
how do I adjust the thread count? running 1 has zero notable effect on my system, so might as well up it?

I had thought it was like the Titanic. Unsyncable.
But... with perseverance, and strategically placed icebergs (cubes) and no small amount of vodka,
In 3.....2......1......
Synced!
Now can I get it to mine?
Thank you Smooth and GingerAle for getting this going, and jwinterm for the kick in the pants to attempt it at all!

'bitmonerod.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'
Perhaps something to do with where it is filed, not that that hepls me. hopefully a windblows expert will make sense of it and get me going. Or back to the original plan of wait til I get a new SSD for my languishing PC and learn Linux.

aight... i made a set of images for this once.... u on IRC? u should really hop on IRC.
ok, thats what it is. I'm assuming that you just typed in "cmd" in the start menu or something. You need to get to where your files are. cmd from the start duumps you... well i dunno where.
So the easiest way - on your desktop, open up your folder with bitmonerod in it. All the happy icons.
Now, in the bar at the top, under the menu (where it shows your location, something like " This PC > folder X > folder Y", click in their and delete the whole thing. It should highlight and allow you to just start typing. now type
cmd
and hit enter.
this will dump you into a terminal in your folder with bitmonerod. The commands bitmonerod.exe --flag value that you used above should now work.
alternatively, you can start from wherever the start menu entry of "cmd" dumps you and navigate from there. In windows/dos, the command dir shows the directory of wherever you currently are, and the command cd means change directory.
so if you cmd from the start menu dumps you at c:\windows\system32\
so you would type cd / , and this would take you to just the C: drive (the lowest level directory).
now you would type dir , and this would give you a list of directories. I think the desktop files are in users \ name \ desktop , so you would type
cd Users
cd Myusername
cd Desktop
but as you can see, its probably easier to dump into the directory you want from the GUI.
Thank you for all of that, but I seem to have it moving again (see edits above) We'll see if it KEEPS moving...

Try adding "--out-peers 1 --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1" to the bitmonerod command line
But if your bandwidth is really that bad, or your computer that slow, it may not help much. Give it a try and see.
You can use the "status" command to see whether it is making progress.
