So don't worry if your bandwidth is not fully utilized, it just might be that the disk is the bottleneck (especially for later block >180'000 with lots of transactions in them).up vote 1 down vote It downloads roughly 7GB of data, so it will take a very long time via mobile internet.For desktop computers via normal internet it usually takes roughly a day.up vote 0 down vote Hours!As long as more than a day.And, and as Bitcoin use increases this will take more time.up vote 0 down vote Alternatives to downloading the whole blockchain: /) is a client/wallet that does not download the whole blockchain.I think Multibit is another.You can also get most of the blockchain via DVD./blockchain-on-dvd/ up vote down vote You can use adsl to sync your client, and use the 4G connection later.Or get the ~/.bitcoin/ folder from a sync client.up vote down vote Interestingly there is a torrent to download a file called "bootstrap.dat", but: "As of Bitcoin Core version 0.10.0 or later, this torrent is slower than a direct download using the bitcoin P2P protocol & client."

The Bitcoin Core GUI doesn't always give the most accurate updates on its progress.But one way to check the progress is to open Help:Debug Window, click the Console tab, and type getinfo.Look at the blocks number.Then try getinfo again a minute or two later and see if the blocks number has increased.If so, you are in fact syncing and just have to be patient.Note that you are downloading about 60 GB of data and performing fairly intensive computations on all of it.If you get tired of waiting, you might prefer a "thin" client that doesn't try to download and verify the entire block chain.See Cannot access my bitcoins because my wallet is still synchronising.What can I do to spend them immediately?to learn about your options for switching.up vote 0 down vote modern core can fully synchronize in about 24 hours.it displays funds only when the synchronization catches up to the time when you recieved the funds up vote 0 down vote I know it's an old post but I just want to announce that I've been able to reduce the sync time from 12 days to 7 hours by disabling Windows Defender.

With this new feature, new users can be fully synced with Bitcoin Core closer to 4 hours, as opposed to 2 days on an average internet connection.The common complaint about Bitcoin is that the start-up time in getting set up with the original BitcoinQT client.Previously, in order to run a full node, the Bitcoin client requires a complete copy of the Bitcoin blockchain (22 GB at the time of writing).One bootstrap solution has been to torrent the Bitcoin blockchain data separately as it usually downloads faster that way.Also read: Bitcoin In Bloom: How IBLTs Allow Bitcoin to Scale Jeff Garzik first reached out to the Bitcoin community several days ago to call for review and testing.Developer Pieter Wuille explained why this implementation was so long in the making, despite having been on the backburner for years, on SourceForge: /bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/4468), or packaged on http://bitcoin.sipa.be/builds/headersfirst, where you can also find binaries to test with.Bitcoin Blockchain Changes Other potential future changes include CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY, presented by Peter Todd a few weeks ago, and Invertible Bloom Lookup Tables, proposed by Gavin Andresen.
