Jormungandr ( nightly , version 0.8.2) slow synch?

Hi guys,
I have question if jormungandr ( nightly , version 0.8.2)
is processing correctly or is stuck? After 10 hours running seems to be little synchronisation change (or maybe this is ok) ?

10 hours earlier it was:
blockRecvCnt: 1186
lastBlockContentSize: 0
lastBlockDate: “6.6668”
lastBlockFees: 0
lastBlockHash: 512cc7af7c142e8e89f44b68d432c189d5bcb4a0beb3981c1d2511b8b5900b31
lastBlockHeight: “4841”
lastBlockSum: 0
lastBlockTime: “2019-12-14T23:12:06+00:00”
lastBlockTx: 0
state: Running
txRecvCnt: 76
uptime: 22510

now there is:
blockRecvCnt: 2913
lastBlockContentSize: 0
lastBlockDate: “6.6668”
lastBlockFees: 0
lastBlockHash: 512cc7af7c142e8e89f44b68d432c189d5bcb4a0beb3981c1d2511b8b5900b31
lastBlockHeight: “4841”
lastBlockSum: 0
lastBlockTime: “2019-12-15T09:00:19+00:00”
lastBlockTx: 0
state: Running
txRecvCnt: 103
uptime: 57791

I’d like to understand this better also. Specific questions are:

  1. Sometimes when I’ve run the node the lastBlockHeight increments every couple of seconds and closely matches the block height reported on for instance pooltool.io. This certainly seems to synced and operating properly

  2. At other times, the lastBlockTime and blockRecvCnt are incrementing, but the lastBlockHeight and the lastBlockDate (epoch.slot) are not incrementing. Does this mean the node is “catching up” i.e. trying to sync and the node just needs time to sync or has something gone wrong and the node should be restarted?

  3. In other instance the node is clearly out of sync. The lastBlockTime stops incrementing and the log shows warnings that blocks are not being received. In this case, it does seem that the node needs to be restarted; however, it would be nice to know more details about whether the storage file should be removed or if there is a safe “soft” start where previous block information is already stored.

No one has any answers for us?

No point in trying to fix outdated software (0.8.2). For more up-to-date issues there are various on-going forum topics. But a major update is due on Friday, so…
