Would getting stuck on one block (not following the chain anymore) indicate a flaw in the build I'm using, something going wrong on my computer/connection or with Primecoin in general? This has occurred 3 times today, but not once before that. The issue happens long after I started mining, anywhere between 1 and 5 hours after startup. I have been using the following builds and had this happening with both builds:

Generic Windows client based on Chemisists improvements, compiled by fabrizziop
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253662.msg2716037#msg2716037

Release 16 Windows client optimized for SB i5, by Zalfrin
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253662.msg2711432#msg2711432

I had an issue like this, not sure why but roughly after 10PM GMT+0 to about 10AM GMT+0 is when I seem to have a lot more success mining blocks that weren't orphaned. I wonder if its packet shaping/filtering by my ISP but I doubt it somehow.

Unless if someone with tremendous power is mining in the other times. I think it might be the latter, since I've seen a few posts by other members speculating the same thing.
Might be worth trying, YMMV.

I'm using the official build from Sunny
