Do you have a bootstrap?
I think with the new update coming out in a few days, the bootstrap is no longer necessary. V1.2 was tested on 3 PCs that have never seen a crypto wallet before on Windows and it loaded the entire blockchain in about and hour and ten minutes or less on all of them.
It makes sense then, to not really worry about bootstrapping.
Happening that quickly does not seem like an issue at all, and a lot simpler than downloading, unzipping, replacing files in the directory, etc...
