i got tired of waiting over hour and made a .conf with these nodes;
addnode=54.186.125.97
addnode=54.186.248.126
addnode=95.211.57.109
addnode=192.99.10.27
addnode=37.187.71.108

deleted everything in appdata except wallet and conf,resatrted and was synced in 5 min

Thanks for posting this, I had not seen a connection for about 2 hours. Added these and wallet fired right up and downloaded entire blockchain in under 2 minutes.

Upon it completing though, I created 2 addresses, encrypted my wallet and backed it up. After doing that the wallet would not fully start up, redownloaded the blockchain again....all is good with mine now.

im doing that now.
thanks
