Why he should not just download up to date blockchain and place it in right folder?

If you just download the blockchain from somewhere you trust that the files are correct. So if you use the torrent your client will verifiy the data, which takes some time as well.

just like torrents the OP may not have many seeds (or as we call them nodes)

research into adding nodes/supernodes to increase ability to download at optimum speeds.

Nope, bitcoin-core is only syncing with a single node, no matter how many connections you have. But since you mentioned the torrent:

This torrent [1] can dramatically speed up the syncing and for the rest you can use a fast node from the fallback list [2] or mine [3].

Such is life in crypto paradise

Just like shorena said, I think you'll be better off using lightweight wallets that don't host the whole blockchain.
You can also try online wallets like blockchain.info

After download bitcoin wallets, must update all blocks of data? My system is WIN7 , have updated the blocks for 4 days.There are 6 months of data dont download.Too trouble. There are other ways to do it.
Each time I use the wallet MUST update all of the block data???
