I installed 0.2.24 and it syncs most of the way but it slows down at the very end. It gets to the point where as soon as a block is synced, a new block comes along. So it never finishes.
do you get these info from the GUI .. or from typing "getinfo" in the console?
have you tried "getinfo" in the console?
I was getting it from the GUI at first. When I type get_info in the console, the blockchain_head_block_num matches the latest block processed so far shown in the GUI. It's always about 15 blocks away from finishing.
