I let it run on a Mac mini i7 with HD (not SSD) for 14.5 hours using bootstrap.dat and the txindex=1 in bitcoin.conf. I'm now at block 277'000 (December 26th 2013). It's slowing down like crazy.

Anybody care to share their timings? Thx!

EDIT: The sync is over. It took me 23 hours with Bootstrap.dat and txindex=1. Be careful if you're using the 0.9.2.1 version. You can fix a bug that slows down the syncing here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=746840.0
