Ive seen other chains having a download from web site which include the chain up to block xxx. Makes the sync much faster for new members of community and existing having to reload the chain

if that is the feature your talking about im sure the devs here could do it as they seem very skilled, but that would take time of other projects.
Sure, would not be a problem. The team already put together such a snapshot of chain and state, just held off on publishing. Something to consider for sure, thanks for the suggestion.
