The spirit of bitcoin is to verify not to trust.
Downloading the blockchain (and other related files like chainstate) from a centralized source means you are giving up that verify step and that makes running a full node pointless. In other words it is better if you use a SPV client instead.
Additionally downloading it from a centralized source then verifying the file from block #1 is going to be slower than just letting bitcoin core download and verify blocks on its own. Which is another reason for not doing that.
If you are facing problems syncing, you should find the root cause of that problem and try to fix that instead of looking for a workaround.

Why don't you just let the Bitcoin core download the whole blockchain?
Manual download of the Bitcoin blockchain from other sources is no longer available and it is no longer suggested to download manually. There is a big risk and possible file corruption.
If your problem is the syncing and it's downloading very slow then to improve it you need to increase ram memory and switch to SSD there is a big improvement in your Bitcoin and it speeding up the syncing process.

Hi! Many users have problems opening a Bitcoin Node due to block synchronization errors. I ask you to help us, anyone who has a copy of the Bitcoin Core folder, except for the wallet.dat file with a fully synchronized blockchain, uploaded to Facebook, can you share the link?
