putting earlier found list of addresses into clam.conf and loading it on start did not help to add new nodes.
i am now at -4 years and 35 weeks behind after struggling to update after 5 days.
please advise, what do i do to make it faster?
current blockcount: 2655016
Sounds like you are using the 1.4.17 version of the core, with 2.1 is really fast, for me, it takes less than 2 days to sync with the new version, but the old one used to take week for the sync process.
Another option is to add a bootstrap file, but that way you will have to start the sync process from zero. Clam 2.1 should be the solution that you are looking for.
