Isn't the bytecoin wallet a peer to peer client that share the blockchain?
if that's the case, it should be a lot of peers every time you open the bytecoin wallet.
and the bytecoin wallet should have an option to limit download and upload speeds, i said this before.
Perhaps it SHOULD show a lot of peers, but it doesn't. Fortunately, I had 12 peers for a while and it looks like my download will complete within the next couple hours. This process has taken me well over 1 week to complete. Again, it's very off-putting for people that are only acutely interested in cryptocurrency.
Anyway, thanks to all of you that have offered suggestions.
