Hi,
Can anyone tell me if they are also experiencing a very slow download of the bottlecap blockchain.
My system resources are fine and my internet connection is fast so I would have to say that there is something wrong with bottlecaps.
The bottlecap client integrity test was fine. I even disabled the firewall, but still had the same download speed.
Anyone have a clue why this is so?
Thanks for help

Is this a new wallet installation that seems slow or an existing wallet that has suddenly become slow?

My longtime Bottlecaps wallets (windows) tend to among my fastest syncing wallets. The installation I did on my RPi downloading from scratch and just letting it find peers took ~4-5days to fully sync but seems just as fast as the windows wallets now (ie ~15minutes to sync 5-7days)

If its a new installation you might just be unlucky with the peers you are downloading from.

Hi, thanks for replying.
Actually i am using a wallet that is the 2nd last version so that would be 2.2.1

However for the past couple of months i have been using this wallet and I had no problems, and just in the month of may this has started.
Did something go wrong with the network, nodes, blockchain. It is downloading like a snail.
Thanks
