Hi All,

I'll be brief:

Version 0.14.1 64 bit
OS: Windows 10
Specs: Core i7, 6 GB Ram, using external USB 3.0 HD for block chain save. No room on internal SSD for entire chain.

Problem: The damn sync is downloading at 0.05% per hour. I already made my original bitcoin purchase and at this rate I won't be able to spend it for around half a year.  It's apparently too late to decide to use a "lightweight" wallet because I've already made a transaction using an address number that was generated in Bitcoin Core.

Please... PLEASE help! I'm not a techy person, but I thought I followed the instructions for a brand new bitcoin user very well. I just need to speed up this 120 GB download.

Ugh.. I don't even know how to put a screenshot in here... I don't know how to use HTML.
