The Bitcoin wallets getting to big people. And downloading it go to slow, It took me 3 days to download. (I have 200MB up and Down INTERNET connection)

If you keep Bitcoin 1MB block limit, people will be forced to use other altcoins as well, so you basically have to download all blockchains anyway because not everyone is going to accept Bitcoin, so you save nothing from this point.

Exactly, why don't people understand this?
So making the blocks bigger will fix this?

No. What I (and cambda, hopefully) am trying to say, is that you will need a whole lot of disk space, no matter what solution is chosen. There's no way to escape that.

ever heard about blockchain pruning?
it certainly IS possible.

real problem is bandwith anyway - you cant escape that
