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.
