Multiple issues (crashes, never syncs, etc)

[bsdhsr]

I'm experiencing multiple issues on FreeBSD 10/amd64.

In no particular order:

• Sometimes will say "Connecting..." (in red), and never get past it. All other programs work fine.
• Frequently (>95%) gets stuck on downloading. I've let it run a whole night on two separate ocasions, only to come back and realize it's made 0% progress. The java jvm is using 100% CPU.
• Frequently (100% of times when the above issue manifests) crashes on exit. One time it even stopped displaying the UI altogether after a pkill java, and I had to restore the datadir from backup.
• Says is "Online" (green), hovering the mouse over the text shows connected peers, but also a date from last year (latest block). There is no attempt to synchronize further. Trying to exit the software results in it hanging (see above).

All in all this has made MultiDoge pretty unusable in this case. It took a whole night and 6 more hours to do the initial sync (admittedly, I am in a remote location with slow internet access, but still. dogecoin-qt took almost 2 days to sync, and it did so flawlessly), after which I moved my funds to addresses in MultiDoge, and they have been inaccessible since because a) it will not fully sync and b) it keeps crashing.

I realize this is all a bit vague, but this has been the reality of my experience with multidoge. Just wondering if it's common at all?

Happy to help troubleshoot. I am not too familiar with Java however.

Do let me know of any suggestions you might have, and THANK YOU for the time you've put into dogecoin!

Just had it happen again. Progress stopped completely, multidoge hung on exit, issued pkill java, restarted multidoge, and the ui wouldn't come up. Instead of restoring the datadir as before, this time I just tried moving one of the wallet's .properties file.

That worked, however now it's synchronizing again all the way back from 08 Dec 2013.
And once again it's stuck, been at "Number of blocks: 90" for 20 minutes.

Visual indicators say "Online" (green), and to the right of that, there is no "Synchronizing ..." any longer.
