Report ID: 1087916022. Zotero sync hanging, then "stopping" overnight
I'm running Zotero 5.0.65 on Windows 10 Pro v. 1803; H/W is i7-4770, 16GB RAM.
The problem is:
1. Sync was hanging for hours without completing. The green arrow just kept spinning. NB I have sync set to manual, and to sync full-text content.
The changes I was syncing at the time (yesterday) were not extensive: some changes to saved searches, a few merges, some added PDF attachments (23 at most, that was all I downloaded yesterday). My library totals 6,452 items if that helps; my Zotero storage is currently at ~2.1GB so there is quite a lot there.
2. When I gave up on the sync and hit "stop sync", it went into "stopping", with the green arrow still spinning. I left the PC on overnight and the arrow is still spinning now, 18 hours later.
Looking at the error report, it seems to be a problem with the connection, to my untutored eye. I'm reluctant to just close Zotero while it's syncing or stopping, though, as I don't want to risk anything being corrupted (though I'm probably being overly cautious here).
What do I do?
