Yea, possibly a full disk, or a failing disk... It's odd that even with a dedicated connection within your LAN it took that long to get that number of blocks. My 100 Mbps router funneled them from one of my PCs to another in less than 15 minutes, at the 65K+ blocks it needed.

Maybe a flakey router or internet connection? Might be worthwhile to do a speed test, or research Microsoft Security Essentials to make sure it's not toying with Bitcoin's ability to build the block list in some other way... not too familiar with Microsoft products I'm afraid.  Undecided
