Has it stopped downloading entirely (even after leaving it on for several hours), or does it just lag behind?

Will never catch up. For 2 weeks was behind 7-9 days, then 11 days just last week, and now 14 days behind.

My question is: does it still make progress? Are blocks (very slowly) coming in, or not?
