man i gave up afer ~19 days , trying to sync (2kb/s),
but even with the bootstrap its painfully slow at 3kb/s (import ~3000 0000 0000 kb ...)
and thats not all,
i gave up because biggest thing which sucks very hard is that client stops after a random amount of time to work(import/load)
i have enough, i accepted 3/kb/s , but 50mb per day - screw this. :-(
maybe fix this client , others crypto coin chains load up to 1 GB per hour (with less connections)
Hmm, the CLAM client is buggy when syncing from the network - it seems to ask different peers for the same sets of blocks, so there's heaps of duplicates - but with the bootstrap it should be much faster. Seems like there may be something else wrong in your case.
If you're syncing to claim CLAM (ie send it to an exchange) you should be able to send the funds before it's fully synced.
