I've searched online, this Stack Exchange, including , and am still having problems with syncing Geth. Where else can I look and try to get help?

    At the risk of suggesting trivial stuff, when I have syncing issues (everything else seems fine, but geth just won't load blocks) as ofthen as not I can either: a) Make sure my system clock is properly set. Even a few seconds off of "net" time will prevent syncing, or b) Manually use admin.addPeer(<known_good_peer_enode_addr>) to add known network network peer.

    By now my clock is almost always spot-on, but the second method (especially on our corporate test net) almost always helps.

For Geth:

For the Ethereum Wallet or Mist:

The issues list can help determine if your problem is a known bug and how others have dealt with it.

I have had the same issue for a week now and the only solution that has worked for me is to shutdown (ctrl-C) and restart (geth.exe) the sync itself in command prompt.

If anyone could provide a great way to automate a sync restart once the cmnd prompt window displays :

Synchronisation failed: no peers to keep download active

That'd be super swell. Something in Powershell to automate a shutdown restart.
