I've been trying to sync my wallet for two weeks but it's not making much progress but there are connections. Last two days it staked about 50 stakes but none were accepted. It still says 17 weeks behind. Is there a bootstrap?
Is it actually downloading? Make sure you are running the latest version. It is very slow to sync.
It sync'd and I've been staking for 3 weeks now. I had to restart the wallet about 7 or 8 times and each time I did it, it helped. It's stayed updated since.
