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.

The torrent of blockchain file is available on Bitcoin.org under the download links of Bitcoin Core and here is => https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/bootstrap.dat.torrent , I downloaded it and it finished in 1 day 8 hours with a speed of ~200k/s (my max speed)
One it's finished put it in Bitcoin folder on the AppData and launch your Bitcoin Core wallet and you are ready to go
