God Bless your internet connection speed!

I’m on a 1.2 mb/s dsl, 211 days behind in bitcoin DB synch.

Gonna take a day (or three or four or ...)

;-)

Yes, that's a lot of days to be behind.

I noticed the initial setup/sync took about that long for me as well. I think it took something like 10-12 hours (litecoin wallet) maybe more. But after that, I normally open up the wallet every week or two so it only takes a couple of minutes. I don't have a bitcoin wallet. I heard it was faster than litecoin's wallet but I'm probably wrong.

I can see that not running your wallet app for almost 7 months could result in a large delay to sync back up. Of course, if I don't run Windows for 7 months and I open it back up, I end up with about 30 hours of Windows updates to deal with as well.
