I have a question about the install with bootstrap, my laptop has been at it for over 48 hours now, is this normal? The ltc client synced from 0 to 100% within 48 hours without bootstrap 
Is something going wrong, or is this normal?
Is something going wrong, or is this normal?
Edit
Last time I checked a bootstrap.dat was taking a little over ~36 hours
Bootstrap.dat is slower than the Blockchain snapshot.
Plus with the snapshot you can open Help and click debug windows to see at what speed it is downloading.
Wallet won't load until the bootstrap.dat completely finishes, so it is hard to tell where you are at.
Press CTRL ALT & DEL , start Task Manager, click the Processes Tab, look for zeitcoin-qt.exe and then look to the right of it at how much memory it is using.
Memory used fully loaded is ~1 gig, you can watch it increase to get a feel for how much longer, but if it is not increasing, I would just cancel it and download the snapshot instead.
FYI:
Blockchain snapshot is only a few hours.
FYI2:
You can also go under c:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Zeitcoin
and watch the blk001.dat file size to see how close it is to the bootstrap.dat to get a feel for how much longer it might be.
After 72 hours it's at half that memory power, ridiculously slow
But I see it rising, thanks for the explaining
