Hi..

How can I convert or use my wallet.dat file in multibit?
My problem with bitcoin-qt is my internet connection and download time for the blocks.
 Looks like multibit would work much faster.
 Is there any other client you would recommend?

Best regards.

Is there a reason that you need to continue to use the same addresses?  Why not just send the entire balance from your Bitcoin-Qt wallet to the new address at your MultiBit wallet and then stop using the Bitcoin-Qt wallet (perhaps store the wallet.dat file from the Bitcoin-Qt wallet somewhere safe just in case someone re-uses an address you gave them in the past)?
