System information

Geth version: 1.7.3
OS & Version: both of Windows and Linux
Commit hash : N/A

Hi guys.

I begined geth syncing with --fast option from 5days ago But syncing is never ended.
Threre are few "imported new block reciept" however so many "imported new state entries" logs.
I tried not only on both of Windows and Linux but also geth 1.7.0 ~ 1.7.3.
Is it only problem to just me?

There are bugs in 1.7.3, light mode stopped working for me, completely.

Run in the same problem here. Start syncing on my notebook with win-10, leave it running for 2days! No luck. Then I run geth on linux server and it synched in just 1 night! So I copied the blockchain folder from linux to windows (40Gb+) and here we go. Pretty easy one!

Yep, -fast - cache 1024,

downloaded 4.75m blocks (<10k blocks before current) then after that it slows down exponentially, bloats to take over all available system memory and eventually the process must be ended because the computer is bricked.
