If I have problems with never ending bootstraping I do the following. I try each one if it doesn't help I try the next. It might not be the right thing to do but it worked for me.
1. Restart the bootstraping node 2. If I see streaming 0/xxxx I restart the node and all the streaming nodes 3. Restart all the nodes 4. If there is data in the bootstraing node I delete it before I restart.
