Yep that's pretty normal. Will probably take several hours, maybe even more than that. What you are essentially doing is downloading the history of litecoin. |
Charlie Kelly: I'm pleading the 5th. The Attorney: I would advise you do that. Charlie Kelly: I'll take that advice under cooperation, alright? Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor? The Attorney: You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that and I can clearly see you know nothing about the law.

It takes 15 seconds now per block...
seeing as there are 200k blocks to download still..
15 x 200,000 = 3,000,000 seconds
3,000,0000 / (60 x 60 x 24) = 34.7 days
Erm.....

You might just try restarting the client. But I reinstalled mine on a fresh install of windows a couple of days ago and it took me about 6-8 hours total to download. How many connections do you have? (You can see this by hovering your mouse over the icons in the lower right corner of the application)

14 active connections. It's downloading at a rate of 100kb/s (thats the maxium my broadband allows). Is the litecoin database allot bigger than the bitcoin database? |

Litecoin = 237238 blocks Bitcoin = 205872 blocks I think it may just be your somewhat limited internet connection My Litecoin directory is about 1.5Gb whereas my bitcoin directory is about 6.5Gb |

Erm.....
I think it's going to speed up later on. If I remember correctly there was some spamming attack at that point in Litecoin's history, which caused the blockchain to bloat. |
I know this because Tyler knows this.
