Go-ethereum: Mist stuck at 99%

Expected behaviour

I expect the full blockchain to download succesfully.

Actual behaviour

Stuck at 99%. Last few percentages also take much longer.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

I removed the chainfile once. Don't know if that matters.
Using the Mist Wallet, not from commandline.
The error in the backtrace below pops ups for a lot of lines in the node log and keeps going.

I checked NTP server is running; I restarted it once too after update.

I've successfully downloaded the entire chain before this. Then switched to testnet. Testnet chain didn't download at all (very few peers too, 1/2). I deleted the chain thinking it might've solved that, but didn't affect it. Then I switched back to live chain, and now it's still stuck at 99%.

Update: It has gone through eventually, but was stuck for very long.

It's not stuck, it just has to download an enormous trie. Mist's UI is not the best to highlight what's happening in the background.

[karalabe]

We're trying to come up with a different way to sync the trie, hopefully that wil help it go a ton faster. Hang in there in the mean time :)

Okay, good to hear. Sorry for the post, I assumed it was an issue. Keep up the good work :)
