Well Thank you for the advise and assistance,
The Torrent I was working from finally did finish up.
By all accounts it's apparently kept up to date.

after complete, I copied the downladed 21G file into the App Data file as instructed
(windows), then restarted Bitcoin core.

Core is "stuck".
It hangs at 35 weeks "Syncing". When I peek at the Debug log- it repeats
Data already processed.

this is sort of a hang? I cant get it to run through the blocks any quicker... Ive tried close, restart,
same.
Should I snap a shot of the debug log or does anyone know a work around?
Any assistance greatly appreciated...Ive been working daily on this since Jan. 14.


Are you sure about that mate , Have you waited enough because It was Importing blocks from torrent file then when It check & see that there is some missing files (not updated file) , It start Synchrozining with the network , so basically Importing Blocks is a lot faster then Synchronizing with the network and depends on your internet speed . Simply try to wait some time and see if anything changes .
If the problem consists to happen, simply take a backup of the 21 GB file , Unistall Bitcoin Core (and remove all AppData Files) then Reinstall it once again and put the Bootstrap.dat on the AppData directory and launch. It should work ... I got it stuck last time too and after doing this it worked fine Grin
