Thats a estimate and isn't accurate it will go back further when you start up become it gains speed the longer its open.

How it is estimated ? Isn't it downloading a huge file of 20GB then it should be precise ?
Each time I re-open it it tells me that the database or something got corrupted.

Whats the exact message it gives? You might need to delete the bootstrap and start again.

The following message : "Error opening block database. Do you want to rebuild the block database now?"
Should I simply go and download this https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/bootstrap.dat.torrent ?

Downloading the bootstrap will make it a lot faster its updated every month or so and it really does help speed it up.
