Okay so I'm running into the issue where factomd.exe no longer syncs to the current block again.
Everything was working correctly a few days ago.
I stopped factomd and the walletapp and did some Monero mining on this PCs GPU.
After stopping the Monero miner and starting factomd I get the
"BMGR: at 67214: syncing to block height 67730 from peer..." message and nothing updates.

The Control Panel states-
Last update: more than 26 minute(s) ago

And has been sitting for almost 30 minutes with no update.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this delay normal? Is there a queue to sync your local blockchain from the server?
What messages should I be looking for in the log to troubleshoot this?


Did you get synced? I have waited some long times before the new blocks start syncing, maybe it scans the previous blocks and this takes time (I'm just guessing here). When I have another terminal open and enter    factom-cli get height      I see that the action has been performed in the factomd terminal and each time a different value is returned, which lets me know that it is working, as also checking CPU usage. I have had disconnections at times, not since the last released binaries,  but it tels me that in the factomd terminal. I haven't had any stalls though....   Maybe you have synced now,  if not at least this give you a bump....
