I seem to be having issues that a lot of people running the latest wallet on page one of this thread are having. Surely there's a fix for this that someone is just not sharing right now?

Blocks remaining this morning after running the wallet for a few days non-stop:
440383

Blocks left approximately 30 minutes ago:
202553

Current last block received:
Sat May 20 18:13:27 2017

Current number of blocks:
37257

Estimated total number of blocks:
239810

I have populated the peers list with peers from a friend's peers file and he says it works fine for him and it is correctly synchronised with the block chain.

The wallet has been completely removed from my workstation along with the local user application data folder that is automatically created and I've also tried to re-synchronise from the genesis block on a fresh virgin copy of the wallet to no avail. It's also been installed on a separate virgin server, again to no avail.

Windows Firewall rules have been checked and they allow all access to the wallet. UPNP is on and the ports are accessible. There is no firewall interference. There are currently 21 active connections to the Sweepstake network.

I did however notice on both the workstation and server that the Sweepstake wallet has a high amount of banned peers. Is this normal?

So I'm left scratching my head as to why this works for some but not others. There are zero network restrictions in place, this is the first thing I checked with my ISP and my router, firewall hardware and Windows firewall software.

Any help would be much appreciated.

EDIT: There are now apparently 213814 blocks remaining. The number is increasing! This is ridiculous.

can you post your .conf file for me to see please, I may be able to help if I can see your file. My wallet works and has been working with no issues for a long time.

this is my file named:
