It is my torrent. I just made it and seed it on my machine.
If your torrent is showing up IPs you can see it is rav3n.dtdns.net
But if you not need/want it - do not download!

No change to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/checkpoints.cpp, no change to this file.
I'm not going to seed some random stranger's torrent, sorry.
That being said, yes, it really could use an update + new checkpoint...

Looks like update needed
I made a linear block chain up to 309000, 7zip it and put into torrent.
It is like 12,3GB.
My home upload is ~500kb/s so it will take some time to move it to better seeds... hopefully one day tops

Have fun Right now anyone setting up a new client with this torrent will have to update over 10800 blocks the slow way.
We should be updating this torrent every 5000 blocks or so.

If it's updated often enough, an RSS feed pointing to the torrent or magnet link some how would be handy to update bittorrent clients. Don't know much about RSS feeds, but I've seen it in the past.

Thanks! Can you tell me how you can make a torrent from blockchain databases?

It's time for an update of this.
The good thing about this is that it reduces the CPU load also. Whenever downloading the data my CPU is running at 80% analysing the data.
Takes like 1 day to download and the computer can't be used.

Is there a point to this torrent now that bitcoind block verification is optimized?
If bittorrent is faster, that says to me that the client should be faster, thus giving lower speed connections the chance to run a full client.
I think the big question is, is there a way to make the default client act more like bittorrent when syncing? If someone can't mine at least they can let lots of people use their bandwidth.
Can anyone just give me a command for ubuntu to dump the blk* files into a bootstrap.dat file? I had such an example somewhere on the net but I am not able to find it anymore... Thanks!
add these trackers!
Plz

Very important release here, thanks for this.
This change to 0.8.0 is sure to save terabytes around the net, I can't wait to understand how Bitcoin works again though since I thought we needed the chain...

Block 300,000. New torrent time?
It is the same blockchain everywhere, so yes.
does this bootstrap work on all Bitcoin Core platforms? (Windows, Linux, OSX...)
I'm downloading. Thank you.
But it looks like a lot of time saved using them for more than a pc.
