I've let bitcoin-qt (8.3) run for over a week & a half it's still 238 behind
I guess the windows version does NOT WORK
the mac version was all synced up in a couple days
the last version 7 synced up in a couple days
none of the version 8 for windows will sync on my windows 7, I've tried 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3
