In fact the second setup may be faster than the offered download speed.
I have used 200Mbps and
128gb ram
1tb nvme2 ssd
threadripper cpu
My setup was able to do 190Mbps constantly which makes me suspect my internet connection was my bottle neck
I will soon get 1gb internet and try to see how fast I can do this.
how much did that setup cost you? i'm guessing around $2500. most people would be better off just buying bitcoin instead of trying to spend that money to download the blockchain. it's just going to be an ever increasing game of having to throw more and more hardware at the problem big waste of money unless you just have that stuff lying around from something else...
that pc was the best i ever owned.
it was serious money the threadripper alone was 2500
you don’t need all that.
Any i5 intel 8500 or newer
16 gb better to have 32gb
and any good 2tb ssd. nmve 2
oh. 200. mh internet .
