Do not use the bootstrap.dat file, it is old, out of date, and will be slower. Just let it sync normally, that's all you can do.

So this seems normal.I know blockchain size 80GB How can I speed up blockchain download? Later on, I've noticed (and tested) the speed is mainly limited by my harddrive. If you can, use a SSD (if you're not already doing it). When I tested this from a ram-drive, my CPU become the limitation, while running from my laptop's hdd the CPU was mainly idle waiting for the disk.
