Is it normal that it takes >2 hours to "synchronize" ? It says it's transfering blocks of data from 85 days ago... this is confusing. I tried to send it some money (.5btc) from instawallet but it wasn't received there. Is this normal ?

It will take a while if you haven't synced up in a while. You can always restart it and if you have it configured to use TOR, it may just be the TOR network being slow.

Yes that is normal. It needs to get up to date very time it is started. Apparently, the last time it was updated was 85 days ago (or you installed it recently, and it's still 85 days behind in updating).
