I am synching a new node:

Latest log show I am on block `776519`.

```

`getblockchaininfo` show me that I have many header after.
```
root@BTCPayServerVM:~# litecoin-cli.sh getblockchaininfo
{
  "chain": "test",
  "blocks": 776519,
  "headers": 776710,
```

My node is super slow, probably downloading block slower than it can sync. Any solution? Does somebody has a reliable node I can connect to?

http://testnet.litecointools.com has a list of testnet v4 nodes you should
be able to connect with.

@username_1 ok so something is weird...

The top node at your address is

```
    "synced_headers": 776521,
    "synced_blocks": 776521,
```

Why does my node have more header? My node is in a constant state of IBD right now.

I guess the problem will solve by itself in 200 blocks, but this is weird.

It's because this peer is reporting a higher synced headers height:

Valid heights are at https://testnet.thrasher.io or http://testnet.litecointools.com

@username_2 my own node is reporting higher synced header. Seems that `blocks` match those two explorers. But my `headers` keep growing faster.

```
{
  "chain": "test",
  "blocks": 776582,
  "headers": 776818,
```

My verification progress never get over

```
"verificationprogress": 0.9999977783067506

Yeah, exactly. I banned their node and they seem to have stopped broadcasting a higher synced block height which was confusing nodes. Have you been able to complete IBD now? Seems as though they've stopped.
