For those having problems getting connected etc , below a repost of a how-to.

Try point 1, and use the Sprouts v0.1.2.2-gd0cbc83 version, that seems to be working flawless.

The snapshot links provided in the original post from 18 Aug 2017 does not exist anymore, it was changed at the start of January 2018 by KikloV. Until we can have a new snapshot, you will need to download the whole blockchain to sync.
Please do not use the links provided for the snapshot, they are wrong now and have Zeitcoin Snapshot.
