Hello,

for those of you that have problems downloading from the torrent, I have created a par2 parity volume of the bootstrap.dat file that has 317000 blocks (22566124235 Bytes).

Bittorrent makes a pretty good job of distributing rarest parts of the file first, but if someone has problems getting the full boostrap.dat file from bittorrent, she can try to reconstruct it from the parity archives I have created.

I have created enough recovery blocks to help people reconstruct the full bootstrap.dat (of about 22 GB in size) even from the old bootstrap copy from April that cointained about 17GB.

I encourage you to first download the index bootstrap.dat.par2 and verify how many blocks you need before trying to download the rest of the par2 blocks you need.

Here you have almost 5GB of recovery blocks with a small block size of 2 MB (exactly the same as in the torrent), which is an extreme test case for any PAR2 implementation: https://mega.co.nz/#F!ixcyQRJB!toDzjgV9XTYAs1WBQ6lTnA

You might want to download them though bittorrent as well: http://torcache.net/torrent/6D89F7B4327E2A1EBC7BD3DC269825DF92D660C3.torrent

P.S: Please be advised than par2 recovery its quite time consuming and this should be only viewed as a last resort in case you cannot download the file through Bittorrent.
