find someone who will let you download the chain over a fast connection, or copy a recent chain from a trusted source.
Hey, that is interesting! I didn't know that I can download the whole chain from another computer and just update it on my own, thanks for the info, but its not practical here because the average internet speed (1mbit/s) and the high prices. Also I doubt someone here has the blockchain, although I will love support the bitcoin network with my own node is impossible to me, the way I want to do it is to contribute to this community by learning anything I can and sharing it.
