finally downloaded the client successfully yesterday & continue synching today
started at block 910 and synching (slowly because of my isp) for about 2 hours up to block ~2700
and I see that it sucked up 100MB just to download ~2000 blocks
is this normal for earlier blocks? because the newer blocks are less than 1kb/block

oh btw congrats on whoever won the lottery block 86048 with the amount of 968.24781126
so I think this would be the highest reward so far, right?
@dooglus someone beat your record umm or it might be you again
