Comment 2 for bug 588038

candtalan,
Sorry you are experiencing difficulties with your U1 install. The server performance is degraded right now. The U1 developers are working hard on a fix. I expect early this week performance will improve. You can check on sync progress with the commands:

u1sdtool --waiting-metadata | wc -l

u1sdtool --waiting-content | wc -l

The numbers returned should get smaller over time.

thank you,,
