Thankyou for assisting many of us and making this  avail.
After more than 6 days of downloading Core,I got frustrated
and followed the advice Bootstrap the Blockchain Synchronization
id found at GitHUb, which eventually lead me here.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/bootstrap.md
The Torrent in qBittorrent is  not one iota faster than the original core download of the blockchain?
The Torents been running for 2 days, and ETA is now 3days 10 hours
showing 88% done.
it must be a self defeating process to keep beating myself up like this! LOL!!

At 88% almost 89 complete I'd hate to trash it all.
any way to get through this without it taking a month os nights running?
i was so excited after reading the github instructions, as I thought it might be all completed in less than an hour.
any help is much appreciated. You're a gem to the community, obviously patient and helpful
as noobs I for one appreciate ppl like you and hope to pif when / if eventually set up.
