It takes 15 seconds now per block...

seeing as there are 200k blocks to download still..
15 x 200,000 = 3,000,000 seconds
3,000,0000 / (60 x 60 x 24) = 34.7 days


Erm.....
I think it's going to speed up later on. If I remember correctly there was some spamming attack at that point in Litecoin's history, which caused the blockchain to bloat.

Yup it speed up. Smiley Finished today some time Cheesy.

Good luck fellow liters ;P

I'm using Linux Mint if it helps
I've installed litecoin and it's taking ages to download atm...

Got it up to 13.8% downloaded pretty quick but then onwards its just taking ages

Normal?

Yep, getting similar results here.

I'm using Linux Mint 32 bit - how about you?

You might just try restarting the client.  But I reinstalled mine on a fresh install of windows a couple of days ago and it took me about 6-8 hours total to download.  How many connections do you have?  (You can see this by hovering your mouse over the icons in the lower right corner of the application)

14 active connections. It's downloading at a rate of 100kb/s (thats the maxium my broadband allows).

Is the litecoin database allot bigger than the bitcoin database?

Litecoin = 237238 blocks
Bitcoin = 205872 blocks

I think it may just be your somewhat limited internet connection

My Litecoin directory is about 1.5Gb whereas my bitcoin directory is about 6.5Gb

Yep that's pretty normal.  Will probably take several hours, maybe even more than that.  What you are essentially doing is downloading the history of litecoin.
