[Ethereum] Intermittent Synchronisation failed: no peers to keep download active

blockchaingo-ethereumsynchronization

My geth blockchain sync is stalling with the error message: 

I0323 07:46:09.085264 3027 downloader.go:267] Synchronisation failed: no peers to keep download active

I've tried to restart it but it syncs again for a while and then stalls again, it seems to repeat this pattern.

Any idea why this happens?

If you are trying to sync with testnet, there seems to not be many peers running on this testnet. I got the same errors, but just restarted geth and eventually the blockchain was synced.

I've not encountered this problem on mainnet. Please reply / edit your question if you did encounter this issue on mainnet and we can try to work through this problem.
