Once your wallet is finally set up and running, will it earn any bitcoins for you keeping it running or is it just solely to keep yours in and support 'the system'?

Do they normally take hours and hours to catch up?  If it is seeking data then why can't this data be put all in a file somewhere and just lump loaded to it?

Thankyou

You could use an online wallet like Electrum, no need to download the blockchain, so you will be able to use your Bitcoin wallet much faster

No, a wallet doesn't earn any bitcoin.

It's downloading about 2GB of transactions.
