Thank you!

Turns out I was blocking 8883 and 6667 on the machine that is up to date. Fixed that and the incoming rate shot up but I still don't see the other host in getpeerinfo so I'm not sure if maybe I got lucky and it found another peer very close but outside my lan.

Tried this in the debug console -

addnode 192.168.0.103 add

Is that correct?

Guess I'll quickly find out...

Setting up bitcoin-qt on a new laptop.

Need to tell it to use my desktop as a block source so it goes faster.

There use to be a ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file where I could do that, but I don't see that file.

What is the current method for telling it to use the "caught up" client I have running on another machine on my gigabit wired LAN ??

Looking via google seems to all point to old documentation for 0.8 client - which used ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
