Me too. This thread is a bit worrying. I wasted most of today trying to get a droplet to talk to the outside world (was only accessible through the direct console on control panel) - in the end I had to give up and destroy it.
Now, after getting my droplet set up and everything working great, I thought I know, I’ll park this work by making a snapshot so I don’t lose it. Wish I hadn’t bothered - the progress bar quickly and smoothly went up to 50% and then just stuck there. Currently been waiting over an hour (60Gb droplet, approx 30% full).
I could have backed up a server this size with a USB stick by now!!!
