I have a fairly robust dedicated pc running ubuntu:
Processor Intel Core i5
Memory 8gb
Disk 500 gb ssd

The progress started quickly with about 70% in a couple of days.  Then it slowed down dramatically to where now  like today for example it has downloaded not even 1% in the last 12 hours, maybe getting like 2% per day at this point.

Been checking to debug.log no errors, running continuously with percentage complete increasing as expected (just slow). 
Config:
prune=3000
dbcache=16384

Looking for any suggestions to try out.  Seems like at this rate it would take a few weeks to load, that seems too slow, or it this how long it seems to take nowadays?

It sounds like you've got a strong setup there. It's not exceptional for the starting adjust to moderate down because it advances, but the rate you're encountering appears curiously moderate. Your equipment ought to be competent of quicker advance.
 
 Since you've checked the debug.log and found no blunders, and your arrangement settings appear appropriate, it's worth considering a couple of other potential components.
 
 Firstly, guarantee your web association is steady and not encountering any issues. In some cases organize interferences can essentially moderate down the syncing process.
 
 Also, check in the event that your antivirus or firewall settings can be interferometer with the syncing handle. Some of the time excessively forceful security settings can cause slowdowns.
 
 You may too attempt restarting the syncing prepare or restarting your computer through and through to see in case that makes a difference to progress the speed.
