yesbut unfortunatelly the size does not tell you much about how long will it take, because the connection capacity is hardly saturated Undecided

So in half an hour it got around 90MB of data, so I guess it will take another 4hours...

EDIT: So now it looks like pretty stable 300kB/s so it is good. I was afraid it will be as bad as downloading bitcoin blockchain :-]

Ups silly me, of course, thanks. I am used to windows style parameters when there is usually no equal sign :-] So now I wonder how long will the LTC blockchain download take ...

I think the total blockchain is 650-700MB right now

I see the error now. You need to add the equal sign. As in, -datadir=

this ...

and you don't need the trailing backslash ( though I don't think it will hurt )

bad joke man:) Read my first post carefully and especially the section in the white rectangle. I hope you know what "dir" command does
