I started downloading the chain and got to 14%. The download stopped and still shows 7% per hour but it does not move.

I checked and it banned all the peers and every time I unban them, they just get banned again. What is happening ?

Peers can get blocked for multiple reasons

  • sending too many invalid blocks
  • sending too many malformed messages
  • using too much bandwidth (e.g. your maxuploadtarget setting)

and probably others.

There are logs which may be helpful and you can review available options

-banscore=<n>
Threshold for disconnecting misbehaving peers (default: 100)

-bantime=<n>
Number of seconds to keep misbehaving peers from reconnecting  
(default:86400)


-whitelist=<IP address or network>
Whitelist peers connecting from the given IP address (e.g. 
1.2.3.4) or CIDR notated network (e.g. 1.2.3.0/24). Can be 
specified multiple times. Whitelisted peers cannot be DoS
banned and their transactions are always relayed, even if 
they are already in the mempool, useful e.g. for a gateway
