🗒️ Summary of this message: A user reports a strange behavior with the 0.5.0 version of Bitcoin-QT in Linux, where the blockchain stops downloading at 10% and then restarts at 0% after closing and reopening the client. The issue has been noticed before and needs fixing. The number of connections can be found by hovering over the signal icon.

I've noticed this same behavior with 0.5 release candidates. I remember
seeing it with 0.4 also, so I think it's not a regression. I haven't yet
pinned down the cause. It would be nice to fix; especially for those
downloading the blockchain for the first time.

Also, where can I find the number of connections using new Bitcoin-QT?

Hover over the signal icon in the lower right corner. The icon looks like
a cellphone signal indicator. The number of connections is displayed in a
tooltip.
