is it suppose to be harder that Bitcoin's wallet to get synced ?
i'm having a  hellish time trying to get anywhere with the wallet and i've tried tons of stuff..

i would have said screw it but i have been running a miner on p2pool and i want my coins
so far i have gotten none an they are showing on the p2pool graph.

tried the conf that came with it with and with out the extras leaving only addnodes
tried only using 1 node as mentioned on page 1.. tried no conf..
all the while re-deleting everything but wallet.dat after trying different things.

all i ever get is part way then it pretty well just slows to a crawl or doesn't move at all
and i have no security, router or firewall issues either
i have a massive gigantic folder of wallets and have run into issues with tons of them
and always managed to get it going and carry on.. this is THE one that is stone walling me hard.

so much pissing around this sucks some serious ass
wish i could figure out what the hell is going on.. even did chkdsk on windows.

i'd appreciate any ideas if ya people have any.
