Upgrade StorageSync Queuing for four hours
Hi,
I've ben trying to download my Zotero library to a new computer for a couple of days and seem to be getting the results discussed here http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/sync_queuing The latest one has had me queuing since (I think) about 6 GMT. Since the page says I should start a new thread and someone will have a look at my account that is what I am doing.
It's worth pointing out that my library syncs perfectly in work and on a laptop.
Just for the sake of clarity, is downloading the full library the best thing for me to do when I am setting up on a new machine? I could copy my library over a LAN but my fear with doing that is that it will regard the files on the new machine as all new, upload them all and then push a download on the work machine and laptop. What's the most efficient thing to do do you think?

If you follow the official instructions for transferring a library, you won't get duplicates. The only way to get duplicates is to use export/import, which discards the unique keys that Zotero uses to determine item identity.
