    Tested so far by me, but more testing still to be done, as I know there are bugs with the re-asking code.

    Is it too early to open a pull request when I know it's still needing more testing...?

    This one for sure includes too many non-relating commits.

    @Diapolo which commits would you want to see removed? It's too much of a headache to remove -quietinitial, so I'd rather wait until that gets pulled and rebase this than remove it.

    All that are unrelated to "Download blocks from several peers concurrently" e.g.:

    • Make truncating the debug.log file an option.
    • Show more significant bytes of block hashes.
    • ...and so on

    Don't mix different projects, just open a pull for one thing and this is intended to allow to download blocks from several peers at the same time, right? It's unlikely to get that pull merged ever in this state IMHO.

    @Diapolo is there an easy way for me to test this pull request with those commits on my machine but without pushing them to github?

    If you really need to depend on other pullrequests, please at least rebase on top of them. I was going to put this in next-test, but it conflicts too much with your other pullreqs...

    These commits should be removed or merged under the real changes (only if they're real dependencies):

    • Show more significant bytes of block hashes.
    • Show the timestamp for the block.
    • Add -proxytoo option, which allows proxy use non-exclusively, unlike the -proxy option.
    • Make truncating the debug.log file an option.
    • Add command line option -quietinitial.
  7. Add command line option -quietinitial.
    This makes debugg.log quieter during block chain catch up, so that it is easier to see the block download process.

  9. Improve block download reporting, and separate AskFor.

  10. better reporting of getdata (AH), plus break after ProcessMessages() 47bd682e90
  11. PushGetBlocks returns false if not run. 9d9af462f0
  12. Make truncating the debug.log file an option.
    Useful for developers who need to refer to futher back in debug.log history, but who don't want to
enable the -debug option and all the verbosity that comes with that.

  13. Add -proxytoo option, which allows proxy use non-exclusively, unlike the -proxy option. 844f5aee55
  14. Show the timestamp for the block.
