Seeing same behaviour...sticking at 459's and 959's.. i used the downloaded data to get ahead (still over 30 days behind) .. but this thing is syncing like a snail in a tar pit...
New version will take many days to sync at the rate its going at.. rainbow colours don't mean shit if it doesn't sync quickly..
Update: v1.3 It is going so slow it will take about a week to sync.. ridiculous.. did you even test the new version.. can't stake now...
2nd Update : v1.4 New version helped and now synced and staking.. phew... wasted 3 days on glitched update.. make sure to get newest version.
*3rd Update : v1.4 seemed like it was synced and staking.. but really I had forked and was on my own.. i had locked wallet and only the main 4 nodes then unlocked and sometime today on its own it forked off .. still forking up.. reloading and trying from fast sync (AGAIN)..sigh
db
After 3 days of syncing I am at 61%

By the way I have noticed that it syncs 500 or 1000 blocks and stops for around 5 minutes.
It always stops to blocks ending at 459 and/or 959
Merry Xmas everyone!
