After installing the wallet on my windows computer I figured out that my school network has blocked the necessary ports for it to sync and I had to rely on my VPN which wasnt very stable. After it has synced through by restarting it 10s of times it resetted back to zero...
Im now using a digitalocean 320/month plan 32GB ram 12 core server just to get my blocks synced on ubuntu 14.04. Then copy the files back to my windows computer so it will be fully synced. However, its been a day syncing in the long way already without using the --fast method (Im not quite sure whether --fast will allow me to copy the files back to my windows pc and would work) so im currently at 1369k blocks now downloading was very slow. But it maintained a constant 3mbps download speed, and I often see it stuck at downloading for 15-30 mins, and I have to run the geth command again. Would this be a problem for me?
