Title: Downloading ENTIRE block chain after bitcoin-qt update?!?! Post by: Lgetty17 on May 11, 2013, 04:55:14 AM I just updated to v8 and the new version of the client is now downloading EVERY SINGLE block.... There's no way this is right. Can I move a file from the old folder to the new one? Or worst case scenario, will someone send me a link to somewhere that I can download the clock chain and explain how to do that? Or maybe a link to a place that I could even get it on DVD

To download the blockchain you could use jgarzik's torrent https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145386.0 Title: Re: Downloading ENTIRE block chain after bitcoin-qt update?!?!

Are you perhaps mistaking the conversion for a redownload? |
