its very slowly on my side.. ok i will try.. what i have to do with this ip?  just put in bitcoin.conf??

Yes, put it in the bitcoin.conf as:

Code:
addnode=188.68.53.44

or to avoid a restart, write the following in the dev console

Code:
addnode 188.68.53.44 add

@shorena I set up 0.13.1 on an Ubuntu laptop three days ago on 24/7 with port 8333 forwarded. It is three days now and still downloading. I am using wifi rather than ethernet is that the problem? My internet is very fast so no problem there. I expected the blockchain to download much faster.

Hard to tell, my first guess would be WiFi as well.
