Title: RFT: downloadable block database Post by: jgarzik on November 28, 2010, 01:39:56 AM Here is an archive of the bitcoin block database, for new users who do not wish to wait hours for their bitcoin to be usable:
http://yyz.us/bitcoin/blocks-linux-64bit.tar.bz2 (approx. 68 MB) My question... will these files work on 32-bit linux? windows? Anybody interested in trying them out on those platforms, and reporting the results?

btw, i also got some block-chains online here (http://bitlex.co.cc/files/index.php), just 2 for now, created on 32bit windows. will update every now and then and may add other useful files.

I thought it was on the official distribution and I do recall some earlier efforts to distribute these blocks in other ways. Hopefully your act here will prompt it to be put onto the "official" download pages. I'm running 32-bit Ubuntu Linux on this computer and it seems to be running just fine. About what block # was that block file from? It was pretty fresh stuff there.
