The bootstrap is no longer necessary. It will actually take longer with the bootstrap since you still need to download all 20-30 Gb of it. The new headers-first synchronization with 0.10+ will sync faster and shifts a lot of the bottleneck to your cpu since the node needs to process and index all of the blocks.
Hello. I'm having a hard time finding the bootstrap.dat torrent. I could have thought I saw it on the git before - but now I don't locate it. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Indeed , seems like it got removed from Bitcoin Core page on the Bitcoin.org not sure why though .

It got removed because it is no longer recommended for current bitcoin core versions.
They don't say what version they are running, of course.

If you are running 0.10.2*, you shouldn't need bootstrap.dat. In all likelihood using it would be slower than not using it.
(*Any of the 0.10.x versions)
