I've downloaded the entire blockchain via bitcoin.org several times on different computers. The most recent time took about 3 days. I'd still never download it anywhere else though. Can't be too careful in this game.

Understandable, at the very least this could serve as a proof of concept that you can get a completely synced bitcoin core client faster by using torrents and compressed blockchain, it also mitigates database corruption issues during sync. Maybe the core devs will provide a torrent for an updated compressed blockchain in the future. It would be great if a respected bitcoin community member could do a security check on the torrent to ensure that it is clean.

Ok so after getting the latest blockchain downloaded from the torrent without using any bootstrap file, just using all the files from the bitcoin data directory, no reindexing was needed. This means there is no need to make a portable version of the client and the bootstrap.dat files should not be used for the latest bitcoin clients as they don't include the index folder and other files. Using the bootstrap.dat would take much longer to sync and i am not sure if it is ever worth using a bootstrap file anymore, maybe if you are using older clients.

There was a problem with the magnet link and the download host blocked me from using direct links, they require money for it but I managed to get around it by inspecting the source. They must of caught on.
torrent download link is now hosted on my seedbox.
Also thinking about adding a github download link, that way people can inspect the files before downloading, costs are starting to add up a bit though but I will see. (requires me to pay for github storage)

Thanks for your work, but this is useless with current Bitcoin Core versions No need to maintain it. Bitcoin core 12.0 is the worst version I have ever used!! I can't syncronize for about 2 weeks! When I close bitcoin client it creates log file 300+ MB. There was written the same srting infinity. Then I close it with task manager, and when I start it's "activating better...." and so whole day! Need to delete whole folder and start that stupid client again!!! 65Gb+ it's crazycoin!

Is there a way to download it via http?
I've never been able to synchronize with wallet. This time it was 2 days remaining then computer turned off/on then I got a corrupt database again.
Is there a way to repair it?

Thanks to OP this is good work. But I remember someone told me not to take the block chain from anywhere on the internet unless officially. He said something like another bitcoin network ( I don't really know much about these things).
So is it like safe or???
Thanks.

I don't like things like this, this forum is littered with potential scams & people trying to get you to click on stuff that could infect your computer with malware.
I'm not saying this is definitely something to worry about but I certainly won't be downloading it.

isn't downloading via torrent now slower than doing it directly through core? I thought they'd changed how it works in recent releases. geezz its a big data for me, its 45GB, how long for me to download that? i am not sure i can hold it for days. and if my internet connection is fast like other people, i will download it from the source for the safe way.
downloading's the easy part. when your computer indexes it is when it's gonna hurt.
