Why is the download speed so slow for syncing blocks?
We have a 30 Second Block Speed, this means we generate ~2880 blocks per day verses Bitcoin that only generates ~144 blocks per day.
Advantages to this :
ZEIT Lightning Fast Transfers , 4 Confirmations in only 2 minutes
Verses
BTC , Extremely slow transfers , 4 confirmations take 40 minutes
Our Transaction Capacity is 20X greater than BTC,
But the price we paid for the incredible speed, is having to download more blocks.
Not an issue for most if they keep their wallet synced, and those that only sync every few days are looking at ~24 minutes of sync time per day they were offline.
