For some reason when the blocks are loading; the loading bar always stops halfway on "Media."
Is this a program problem or a personal computer problem?
Please let me know if you do.
Thank you,

I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

Especially when connecting to a server for the first time (and whenever you use a new minetest version) it can take minutes to load everything. Later connections to the same server with the same minetest are much quicker.
A lot of mods in singleplayer can also slow the start up reasonably.

Have you tried to launch it from a console to see if there is any error during loading?
It takes less than half a minute here to connect to a local server with a dozen mods.
Remote connection to the same server from a slow ADSL connection (~60kbps) takes less than two minutes.
(latest version from git, pulled today)

There are 3 steps in the download bar:
1) Download item definitions (25% of the bar)
2) Download node definitions (25% of the bar)
3) Download media (textures, sounds and models)
So when the progress bar shows 50% then you actually just start to download the media. As others already said, this can take a while. Just be patient and do something else.

Why not reduce the definition step to something like 10%? It would make more sense.

When switching versions, it helps to keep the cache folder. That way, only the very first connection to a server takes time, while all subsequent connections (even with a new version) will be faster.
A list of my mods can be found here.

Thanks!
I never thought about that. I'll try it out next time I change/use a minetest version.
