Where I can find the ultimate truth and happiness? 
I've got a copy available in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/howto-jump-start-bitcoin-installation-download-time-with-blockchain-torrent-51456, it's from July 15, but if you are expecting payments or have recent payments that haven't yet been received into your wallet, you don't want to substitute a too-new blockchain, you want to download recent blocks yourself and process them normally.
If you want to import both, use -loadblock=blk0001.dat -loadblock=blk0002.dat (in that order).
For 0.8 there may be a -reindex coming up, which will recreate blkindex.dat from existing blk* files.

when i use bitcoin-qt -loadblock=FILE what should i put in the place of FILE slould i put blk00001.dat or blk00002.dat file?
=blk0001.dat or ="C:\temp\blk0001.dat" (if you need to specify the path).
yes i downloaded it from here and unpacked from 7-zip but it does not have blkindex.dat file
You can extract the two blk*.dat files to a temporary folder and then use
bitcoin-qt -loadblock=FILE
to have it load the blockchain data from the local file rather than from the network. It still goes through the verification for each transaction so the advantage over a normal P2P network download is that the client is never waiting on a new block. But it does go faster.

Sure, http://eu1.bitcoincharts.com/blockchain/
Get yourself a copy of 7zip.
Or just fire up the client and let it download it for you.
