Are you doing the default client? It takes a LONG time....
I think so. I got it from here:
http://bitcoin.org/About window says version 0.7.0-beta.

More than overnight means that something is broken (unless your hardware is very slow or you're running it on truecrypt).
Can you post the debug.log someplace (it will include your IP, so don't if you need to keep that private)
Where can I find debug.log? Its not in %ProgramFiles%\Bitcoin with the executable.
I'm afraid I've already nuked it and tried from the start several times. It always gets stuck near the end.
