I was sick of waiting 24hours for blockchains to download so I have uploaded one for all to download.

This sentence makes no sense at all. You were sick of waiting for the download, so you uploaded it???? So you uploaded it before you even downloaded it? I think nibor just wants to collect points for his ul.to upload....his "hard work".

If you want to download a snapshot of the recent blockchain, use this:
http://bitcoin.bluematt.me/bitcoin-nightly/blockchain-nightly/

The blockchain snapshot gets updated frequently and the download is directly and more high speed than through stupid ul.to

These archives contain a complete, up-to-date copy of the blockchain.

You can use them by simply uncompressing them into your existing bitcoin
data directory and opening bitcoin with the -rescan option.
That would be some variation on
User Folder/AppData/Roaming/Bitcoin or User Folder/Application Data/Bitcoin on Windows,
or some variation on User Folder/.bitcoin/ on UNIX/Mac.

These files are pgp signed, please ask me (BlueMatt) on freenode
or check my forum sig on bitcointalk.org for the relevant public
keys.
