I just noticed that there is a new wallet and needed an update,
my wallet is stuck on block 1014 sync left.
Will it catch up or do i need to delete the index file and let sync from the beginning?
Hi there, yeah I have had a couple have this issue and yes I would suggest either re-downloading the chain or I actually uploaded the blocks for someone else yesterday so you are welcome to grab them too to save some time.

Exactly how/where do I place this folder once I unzip it?
Do I have to delete anything before downloading/installing it?
Hi there, sorry this is no longer relevant, you should now just be able to grab a new client (even if you have a new one) and re-download the blocks, but I suppose in any case you will need to go into this folder anyway to delete the blocks. If you are not familiar with doing this let me just say first of all to be very careful, this folder contains your wallet.dat which holds a record of your coins. So here is a quick guide for windows.
Backup your wallet.dat before you begin and close down your wallet...
1. Start button (bottom left on windows)
2. type in %appdata% this will bring up your roaming folder, select that.
3. look for the NetCoin folder, inside you should see a bunch of files including your wallet.dat.
4. Delete everything in that folder EXCEPT your wallet.dat...
DO NOT DELETE YOUR WALLET.DAT5. You then have a choice, you can put in the files you downloaded or you can just run the client and download them. The first option will have you synced much faster.
I hope this helps if you are not sure about anything at all, don't do anything. Come back here and we'll clarify for you.
Let me know how it goes.
