Where can I find this ( calm.conf ) ?

clam.conf is a file in the same folder as your wallet.dat. You make it yourself - it's a regular text file.

Sir I am already done with bootstrap and it makes my wallet sync fast by " importing files " now it's back to "synchronizing with the network and it takes a day now and it is so slow . I thought  bootstrap can go up to 2M blocks now it is just 1.8 M blocks ( approx 19 weeks behind ) is this correct or is there another patch I need to download ?

Well, it's basically the issue being reported.

The client only imports blocks to a certain point and then goes to sync with network.  It's either a 2GB file limit for the error or the public bootstrap is broken.
In any case, I've also encountered that the client keeps stopping and has to be restarted, but no indication on the UI.  Only that the bkl0002 stops changing in size.

I've been trying for 2 days now with no less than 20 restarts.
At block 1853826 now.... 18 weeks behind.

The restarts are needed to remove the orphan blocks that are currently in memory, hardcoded to 99 in earlier versions of bitcoin if i remember correctly. To avoid this, try
Code:
maxorphanblocks=

in clam.conf


Thanks but I do not think I need to this since I am able to see my clam client is already at 1970000 blocks which is 6 weeks behind and still counting . Is it necessary to do those things you mentioned or I am good to go ?

Only if you have problems syncing, i think. I use 400 during sync, but remove it completely from config file after that, and it keeps synced without any issues

Apparently I am near to finished it so I guess I do not need to do anything since I'm almost done . It is already @ 2M blocks 3 weeks behind . Yeheey!!!  Grin
