In the debug.log, it requests the block list, receives the block list, then begins uploading the list of blocks requested. It doesn't receive the blocks, but it didn't run long enough for me to be sure it would have had time yet. Everything else looks normal. How long did you run it? It could take a few minutes to start downloading the blocks. Especially if you're on a cable modem, the uplink can be much lower bandwidth so it would take some time to upload the block request list. If you run it again and it still doesn't download blocks, keep it running for several hours at least and then send me the debug.log. That should give it time for my node to connect to you and I could see what it says on my side and correlate it with your debug.log. You're right about the minimize on close option, there's no reason that can't be separate. Martti originally had it separate and I made it a sub-option, my bad. I'll change it back.
