Relay stuck on starting after upgrading to 1.34.1

[Gilberto]

Hi,

after literally weeks of waiting for my node to synchronise, I stumbled across this comment which was the cause of my issue

Slow Synch - 1.35 - Mainnet - 1 Solution/Suggestion

After rereading this, I think my original comment probably was not the cause of your issue. I find that connecting only to one or two relays during sync speeds things up, especially if they are iohk relays. Here is a good topology for syncing. You should also disable topology updater while syncing as you don’t want your node restarting. { "Producers": [ { "addr": "relays-new.cardano-mainnet.iohk.io", "port": 3001, "valency": 2 } ] }

I hope this will help
