That makes a lot of sense knightdk. I guess it's moving a lot faster now then last time which is good. Started this morning and now already down to a 1 1/2 years. Gonna have to just sit back and wait. Thanks a lot!

Installed and d/l Bitcoin Core on my Apple and it finished getting all the latest blocks but I ran out of space on my hd so I moved everything to my pc. Got it up and running but why is it re-downloading all the blocks again? I charged the target location to folder with all the blocks but for some reason it's reading the block, clears it and then d/l it again. What a waste of time to have it re-download them all again after I spent weeks waiting for it to finish on my Mac. Is there anyway to solve this?! Thanks in advance!
