have you tried 6.2? it downloaded all blocks for me in about 20/30 mins yesterday
Hmm ... then what is wrong??? Looks well connected (17) latest version (60200) but it's almost 24h now and not done yet. "top" shows me spikes of 10% CPU load every some seconds. It's a server, so bandwidth should not be a problem.
Code:
"version" : 60200,
"protocolversion" : 60001,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 179920,
"connections" : 17,
"proxy" : "",
"difficulty" : 1733207.51384839,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1338085668,
"keypoolsize" : 101,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"errors" : ""

hope it is more responsive once the blockchain is downloaded so i can at least go into beta without putting much effort into setting up a faster client. Was so happy with the ease of the api but speed is really an issue now.
