I'm having the same problem with version 1.8. Been looking for syncing problems here and fixes but haven't found any. Been almost 2 days now.

[daraosn]

I can confirm I had the same issue, my node was not syncing at after updating to latest stable (1.7.10), I upgraded to beta (1.8.4) and it syncs ..

[guigzz]

Same problem here, I'm around block 4,230,000, it says it is syncing, but it is very very slow and it seems like it would need an eternity to catch up the latest block (currently 4,765,000)...
I tried to clean up the cache, empty the db folder, and tried this with the stable 1.7.10 and with the beta 1.8.4 with the same result.

[tomusdrw]

The original issue is a node being stuck after Byzantium hardfork at 4.7M, please upgrade your node if it's stuck on the same block.

@guigzz slow syncing is a separate issue, please follow #6372
