You get it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/blockchain/

Thanks!
But that seems not what I need. It says "Who needs this? - Any first-time user of bitcoin, who wishes to avoid the lengthy block chain download through the p2p network."

I need a solution for daily use. I cant download the daily blockchains of a few hundred and spend hours of downloading while my computer is freezing. Huh

Who knows: what is the cause of slowness?

It will most likely take you a day or so to download most of the blockchain, if you decide not to use the sourceforge link or any pre-downloaded blockchain to get a head start.
How many blocks have you downloaded so far? Were currently on block 185132 at the moment
