I now have 8 active connections, but it's sitting at block 1119 of 1404 (37 hours behind), not moving.
Been there for about 15 minutes.
Also it jumped from 1/3 to 3/4 as soon as it detected connections.
Do you have an explanation?

EDIT
I lied, it's still not working. 12 active connections, 37 hours behind. For half an hour.
What's the deal?
