Thanks for the recap post. Well written by the blogger.

I had trouble updating the new wallet on my laptop, took 3 days over wifi but my desktop update was under 1 hour. The laptop has my 3 witness accounts and the desktop is used for mining.

The laptop is about 5 years old but is a strong one, i was stupid, only after it finished I thought about connecting a physical internet cable from the router into my laptop, maybe my wifi connection was the problem.
