4. on task manager the disk usage is constantly 98- 100% even though I'm NOT running any other programs on the laptop. Anything I can do about this?
Is it from Bitcoin Core alone? It might be the bottleneck thats hindering your synchronization. But 0.08% is pretty slow. How much free ram do you have? You can try going to Settings>Options>Main and increase the size of database cache to try to increase the speed.

5. anyway I can add Screenshots on here? I clicked on the image icon above and some script happens.
Thanks
You probably can't display pictures. Just upload the picture to imgur and send the link here if you'd like.


Thank you for your reply.

I have increased cache from 450MB to 900MB, no difference.
It might by disk usage that is slowing this down, dont know why it's near 100% when I'm not running anything else. Using other programs is a little slow, but no way this bad. I downloaded 500MB in a couple of minutes no problem yet bitcoin core is taking ages Sad

Thank you for your message
1. nothing obviously wrong when I open the debug file.
2. I always wait for the dialogue box to go before shutting down the computer.
3. CPU usage at 9%

There are few things you should check before change any setting,
1. Does Bitcoin Core utilize 100% CPU?
2. Is your disk usage constantly near 100%?
3. Are there any error message on debug.log file (you can find it on where you store blockchain files) ?

Also, please read [READ BEFORE POSTING] Tech Support Help Request Format, so it's easier to identify the problem & think the solution.


Thank you for your reply,
I'm not technical, so please bear with me can you tell me as you may need to use much more simple language than normal.  

How I can find out if my CPU is near 100%?
I have downloaded 96% of Bitcoin core and have 429GB out of 888 free.
my RAM is 8GB
Intel Core i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz   2.40 GHz

Bitcoin Client Software and Version Number: V0.20.1
Operating System: Windows 10


Thank you

Can anyone please help me, I'm not technical, just a normal guy who wants to do his part in helping the bitcoin network.
I have been downloading from http://bitcoin.org for over 10 days now, unfortunately, it's extremely slow despite my broadband working normally. It's downloading at a rate of 0.08% per hour!
I'm NOT using Tor for download, just normal clear internet. I have stopped and restarted the download several times. I have restarted the laptop several times. the laptop is connected directly to the router via ethernet cable, but nothing seems to be improving this.
Do I need to change the settings?
Please advise me.
Thank you.
