I add a new Torrent to my seeders:

A Bootstrap.dat containing the Blocks from 279000 to 282000 ( 460 MB).

Here the Magnet:

and here is the .torrent

Have fun

Quick question: if we have already synced up to 279k blocks with our qt wallet, can we use your bootstrap_279000_up.dat file by itself
to update the remaining blocks?

Or do we also need the entire bootstrap.dat additionally with previous blocks?

Thanks for your help!

EDIT:  This does work with the partial bootstrap file. I just had to make sure to re-start the wallet after adding the bootstrap file.
Normally, I would be waiting for hours get these last 4k blocks synched in the wallet, now its just taking a few minutes.
Thanks for the bootstrap file!!!
