Shorena has a list of fast nodes -snip-
You summoned me? You can force bitcoin core to connect to a specific node and no others if you think the nodes you are connecting to are not providing all the bandwith/blocks they should.
Start bitcoin core with -connect=IP
AFAIK IP can be a list of IPs seperated with "," e.g.
-connect=185.45.192.129,94.23.146.127,213.165.91.169,191.236.50.217
that should make sure you are connected to a well connected node with the latest blocks, once you are fully synced run as usual.

Thanks, looks like good info.
Sadly, I already downloaded bootstrap.dat and tried loadblock....
How long should this take? There is no indication of progress..
