Hi FSTFtw,

Synchronization times may vary depending on your internet speeds, you might want to try downloading the Block Chain that the FastCoin team put up on there Web site

http://www.fastcoin.ca/downloads.html

The direct link is here...

Google Chrome seems to be the best browser to use to download this file as it is close to 700MB in size.  Once you download it, unzip it and copy and paste the contents into your

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Fastcoin

Folder location. 

Be sure to let the files and folders to overwrite the existing ones.  Also be sure your FastCoin wallet is turned off while copying.  This should speed up your sync time to 01-14-14

One other quick note about the above folder location, you need to make sure it is not hidden, as Windows hides these folders by default.  To un hide the folders go to a Windows Explorer window, Then click on "Tools"; "Folder Options..."; Click the "View" Tab and Untick all the "Hide" options below and select the Radio button that says "Show Hidden files, folders, and drives", click on Apply and OK, and you should be able to navigate to the above mentioned location.



Hope that helps.
