well I`m at 58% now and it`s still saying another 22 hours! LOL I guess that`s because the block height increased over time.
I need to find some sort of instruction manual for it now, even if it`s just how to keep it maintained and security updated reglarly, I expect that some time tommorow it`ll be nearly done, then I can sht it down and try figure out how to stop it closing the wifi down when I shut the laptop lid, hopefully it`s something simple in the BIOS, failing that I`ll have to try and find the sensor switch when I`m fitting the ram upgrade and bypass that.
Good point about TOR and lags, I think I`ll hold off doing that for now unless my ISP decides to be more of an ass than usual.
Thanks for helping me out here, and talking me off a ledge! LOL
I have a bit more confidence that this is going to work now
