I'm on day 3 and still, 2 then 3 hours behind. It has been this way for 2 straight days now. My clock is right... Damn! Can you have 2 wallets on the same machine? I'm thinking about just downloading another one.

I'm in the same situation. Blockchain had been synchronized, but it kept falling behind. 56 connections, ports were open. Connection is solid, fiber optic 25/5. I tried reindexing to no avail. I just uninstalled AVG and, coincidence or not it suddenly resynced. So do you have any antivirus programs running?

Running Multibit is a fine fix, but I feel like if I'm already going to have a computer on 24/7 with plenty of space I might as well run another node with the full block chain to keep the network strong.

Why don't you download total blocks which is like 10 gb in total at once from alternative source You can get them for free.

It can take up to 3 days to sync if you've got a slow internet connection.  Just bear with it.

So I got a fresh HP Pavillion G7 and downloaded the latest Bitcoin 0.8.6 and it goes to synchronizing. I know it takes a while but now it is on the last 3 hours behind. It's been there for a while then it goes to 2 hours behind. Then it goes back to 3 hours behind … ? Is this just how it these days now or what?
