Blockchain download extremely slow at 200 blocks per hour I am running bitcoind and the blockchain download is very slow at 200 blocks per hour. 

I am  at 225146 and at the current speed, it would take bitcoind a month to catch up.

Here is my output from bitcoind getinfo

{
"version" : 32400,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 225305,
"connections" : 5,
"proxy" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"difficulty" : 4367876.00084220,

"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1378312057,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"errors" : ""
}


CPU usage is at 10 Percent and I am using 50% of memory.

Any ideas why the download is so slow?

Oh my goodness. That is a very old version.

New versions dramatically improve chain synchronization times. Update from your current version of 0.3.24 to 0.8.5.
