How many peers are you connected to? That will affect your syncing speed.


8 peers
Then that is fine. You should still be syncing. Open the debug window and in the Information tab will show you how many blocks you have already synced. Compare that to the number on a block explorer and you will know how many blocks are left. The number should continue to increase as you sync, but it may not be at a steady rate.

I'm interested in these lines:

What root certificates I'm loading?
The root certificates are for BIP70 payment requests which can be signed with an X.509 certificate. Those certificates are SSL certificates, and they are signed by the root certificates. Specifically, I think the root certificates are just the ones that come with your OS.
