No it doesn't show up any peers. In fact when I connect it to my mobile hotspot it works fine but when I try to connect it using my college internet connection, it is not able to connect to the peers. Please clarify.

It's possible that your college network blocks bitcoin access by policy, you should maybe ask the administrator there. And please note that this site is not a discussion forum, you should maybe ask a new question with your specific problem.

Use extreme caution if deleting an old wallet.  If you don't move your coin first, you may lose access to it permanently.

<p>you need to just wait, its 6GB of data and can take anywhere from several minutes to several hours, there have even been reports of it taking days.  Its because of the size of the hard drive, the speed of the computer, the speed of the internet connection etc.</p>

<p>Cheers</p>

<p>For the last 32 hours my bitcoin-qt has been unable to sync with the network even with my firewall and VPN switched off. Any ideas what else to check? Using Windows 7 SP1 x64 and have rebooted the machine. Internet connection is fine, plenty of space for the blockchain.</p>
