I'm still syncing my wallet and its only 56% in 24 hours, I'm just wondering is this normal for it to take this long? I'm wondering if my internte connection has something to do with it taking a long time to sync as I have been watching the sync process and sometimes I see it pause for 20 or 30 seconds and then starts syncing again. It does this a lot and just wondering if all wallets are doing this or is it because my internet connection is maybe slow, I have cable internet where I live.

Yea vella, it can take awhile to sync up especially if you are way behind. This is something we do want to fix in the future or optimize.

Best thing you can do to ensure it syncs properly and quicker is adding a ton of other node connections. The more connections you have the more reliable the sync.

Also the Denarius macOS v2 QT Wallet is now available too: https://github.com/carsenk/denarius/releases/download/v2.0/Denarius-2.0.0.0.dmg

Does that still need to go in a denarius.conf file? I don't have one in my current install location, but I can create one if that's still the way to do it. Currently I have 18 connections and it looks like it syncs about 10% per hour at the current rate.

Yea it is certainly just slow in general to sync, we are going to try to optimize it much more or come up with a better method in the future.

You would typically add nodes like "addnode=nodeip:port" in your denarius.conf as usual. Sometimes downloading the bootstrap and then importing it can be faster for some than directly syncing.
