P.S: I had tried downloading all the blocks at least 10+ times but lost it every time to the power cuts.
I know it is not recommended, but if you're still interested I can give you a torrent link of a copy of the blockchain (in pruned mode, about 20GB).
I think I can go with pruned mode without the torrent link too but as you know it isn't recommended I didn't consider opting for it.
While I'll not give up so quickly and I'll keep trying, I just cannot commit anything at the moment.
I'll explore more options on this and "when" I have downloaded it completely, the first think I'll do is update this thread.
