The strange thing is that it was on that amount of blocks even when I first installed it

so you upgraded then from a v3.x version, right?

downloading the blockchain now would result in my wallet being corrupted and my money being lost

as long as you keep a good backup of your wallet.dat, you will not lose the ability to spend those coins.

you can force a more recent snapshot of the blockchain here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/blockchain perhaps a clean copy of the blockchain will resolve the problem stopping the client from downloading the blocks. try -rescan if necessary.

No, it was a clean install as far as I can remember. So I could copy the wallet.dat, transfer a downloaded blockchain, and I'll be able to still spend the coins? Good news. I was going use the blockchain from this site; http://eu1.bitcoincharts.com/blockchain/. Is it reputable? How would I run with -rescan? Thanks again.
