I am trying to download Bitcoin Core, but I keep running into the problem: "Unable to replay blocks. You will need to rebuild the database using reindex chainstate." What is likely the problem?



Delete everything in your folder.  Download Bitcoin Core and run it.  It has to reindex the entire blockchain - takes some time.

Supporting this suggestion. In the case when Core's databases gave some glitches reindex  may turn into  lingering-procedure thus the starting from the  scratch  the building  fresh blockchain looks like a well-reasoned decision. To accelerate this IBD I would advocate to put the following entries into  bitcoin.conf file : dbcache=1/4 RAM ( i.e. for 8 Gb of RAM for instance  dbcache=2048) and blocksonly=1(can be deleted/   comment_out after IBD completed).
