Downloaded bootstrap.dat, synced from HD, restarted clam-qt and the last 20 or so weeks are syncing now from the network.
Only weird things is, when I want to start clam-qt from the GUI it won't start, only by using Terminal window and then run command ./clam-qt
If you're using
my bootstrap.dat it's almost always less than 2 weeks out date. I think currently it's only around 4 days old, so it's odd that you're having to sync 20 weeks' worth from the network. I keep the post up to date with the number of blocks it contains, the date of that block, and the checksum of the bootstrap file each time I update the file itself.
I don't know what to tell you about it not starting from the GUI. Which desktop environment are you using?
