Well, you can always use hybrid wallets like blockchain.info/wallet .
You don't need to leech the entire blockchain.
Topic: Warning notice on bitcoin.org (Read 785 times)
I agree.
I recently suffered through this. I wish I would have been warned that I would need ten to fifteen hours before the software would become usable.
Running computers 24/7 in this heat is not an option. It took me four consecutive nights to synchronize with the network.

Many new users coming to bitcoin.org and proceeding to install the client
are quite upset when they find out the software needs hours / days to synchronize,
during which there is lots of hard disk thrashing and bandwidth eaten, and all
other tasks on their computer slow down to a crawl.
Really, is it too much to ask for a little informative notice on the download
page? Not everyone is a geek.
