Please excuse my resurrecting such an old thread, I did not want to start a new once I searched this one.
You can follow the suggestions in "
Reduce Traffic" documentary in bitcoin's GitHub repository:
linkIMO, the first in the list "
maxuploadtarget" is good enough.
But take note that the IBD (
Initial Block Download) isn't covered by any traffic-reduction settings/parameters.
You'll still have to download the whole blockchain in case you're starting from scratch.
Thanks for the tips nc50lc
Hmmm, with 3.5 mb down and less than a 1 mb upload that would take a month. I assume I cannot pause it once it has started.
I did wonder if I could take the node to a friends house and download the blockchain on his fast internet then bring it back and execute the aforementioned restrictions. Will this cause ip issues or something like that? (noob)
