Hi, I started a full node 20 minutes ago. I forwarded port 8333 tcp and the download is very fast. After 20 minutes I was at block 135100
I download around 300 blocks per second is this normal with a 400Mb/s Down and 40Mbs Up connection ?
That's not surprising considering your fast internet bandwidth unless, your PC got some bottlenecks like Low Ram and Slow Disk I/O which can potentially slow it down by half to quarter.

If you're using a SSD, you might wanna move the data.dir to a Hard Disk since it looks like a waste of space for a premium storage.
