Did you change your computer's clock during this time?

@Jannes That is entirely irrelevant to the question, and a subjective opinion.

I'm relatively new to using the litecoin software. I watched the local copy of the blockchain build all the way down to two days. Suddenly, *it jumped back up* to 8 days, and then built all the way down to zero days and finished. The time it took to go from 8 days down to zero was a lot faster than the normal build had been down to two days (about ten or fifteen minutes). Knowing that this latter part of the build would be *past all the checkpoints* (do I know that?), is there an issue here?
