thx


so you mean just simple syncing? I am already at 4.04% with that, and on my slower machine, and HD.
 
On the other machine the blk0001.dat is at 1,008,665 KB ... but it has slowed down so much that it needs one second per KB now.
For another 1 million KB that would mean 10^6 / 60 /60 / 24 = 11 days from now
the bootstrap.dat --> blk0001.dat procedure would be ready. Plus my SSD wrecked I guess.

What if someone publishes his blk0001.dat + /database/ + /txleveldb/ (instead of the bootstrap.dat)?  That would save us 12 days, right?
