No need to redownload the whole blockchain if it gets stuck at some point, it should resume at that point when you restart steemd, make sure you do a clean close with CTRL + C and confirm and not by directly closing the window of the software.

It should resume downloading the blockchain as you do not yet have synced to latest blocks on the network.
Once it starts mining you should see hashrate displayed and estimated time for mining a block.
If it does not happen after after a bit of waiting you can try running: steemd.exe --resync
yeah ok. i i figured i was not mining yet, as my pc only uses 8% of cpu and 10% of ram now ;)
