Topic: Ridiculously slow bitcoin core wallet sync - page 2. (Read 8545 times)
that's why i stopped using this wallet, use MultiBit which doesn't download whole blockchain, unless you are security guy

Thanks for the post Shorena, Mine has been syncing for and got to 138000 in 3 days, now its done 15000 blocks in about 5 minutes 
there are a post in General Discussion about this. The solution is download a big part of blockchain with bittorrent

and majority of time is not the internet connexion ... but the CPU and hard drive speed.
Cant confirm, 8 year old laptop = bottleneck is the internet connection.
@OP use the connect=IP command with a server that has a fast internet connection. See below for IPs to use.

A quick search will find the torrent for bootstrap.dat .
Also look for the connect= command.
But yeah, it takes time.
I downloaded bitcoin core 0.9.3 yesterday morning(the 22nd) and I've had it syncing since. I'm still 1 year and 29 weeks behind, currently on block 239343. Last time I downloaded a wallet a couple months ago, it took less than 12 hours to download. I have charter for internet, to fairly fast there. Am I doing something wrong?? Trouble shooting tips? Thanks in advance!
