Just writing some code

Im pretty sure prune just makes the client delete all blocks before the most recent 550 blocks (or megabytes of blocks, not sure), after verifying them (so naturally, it will download the whole blockchain)

Edit - Nope, if you have prune on it will verify the last 550 bytes/blocks and not download anything before it. Maybe your client didn't download anything at all.

That is incorrect. Pruning will still require you to download the entire blockchain. It will then delete as it downloads to maintain the 550 MB on disk. It still has to download and verify the entire blockchain as a pruned node is still a full node, just without the entire blockchain history (which it has already verified).

Downloading blockchain from scratch works, wallets both complete

I had the rule prune=550 in my .conf file but i have disabled this option now.

Maybe that was the reason my wallet didn't want to sync anymore.
Gonna test this again but first making a backup of my up-to-date blockchain Grin

Editing my edit - I was right the first time. Dammit.

There are torrents which have archived versions of the Blockchain.
However, you're still re-downloading the whole blockchain in a way even if it's faster.

Starting from scratch in the wallet gives you less space for error.
Better do something that's long than not take action on something that doesn't work.

The torrents are slower unless you have a very unusualy setup. While the download itself might be faster, you cant verify the blocks while downloading them via the torrent.

@unholycactus

I started from scratch, hope it works.

There's still the question why this happened, why from block 441207 and why on different wallets.

Well, just wait and see what happens...

Anyone else is having this problem too?
I tried 3 wallets on different PC's and they all stuck at block 441207 Huh

Never before i had this problem.
This is extremely annoying because i need to use my wallet.

What can i do about this?
Downloading the blockchain from zero will take much too long.

Is there somewhere a recent blockchain (from december 1 or later) available
to download?

Thanks.
