In this post by you (where you posted contents of your terminal), it looks like you pasted the line


into the terminal while bitmonerod was already running. Then it wont have any effect.

Instead, you should start an empty terminal with a shell (on windows: start -> execute program -> cmd). This should give you a prompt waiting for your commands. Thats when you start bitmonerod by entering the command above.

Then it will be fast.
