isn't downloading via torrent now slower than doing it directly through core? I thought they'd changed how it works in recent releases.

According to developers, yes, after 0.10 things are handled differently and just syncing is faster.

Omg so much amount of GB for one mobile app on mobile phone i an really confused why so many GB if many users will not be avaiable to download full file?

Bitcoin Blockchain Data: 14 November 2016.
Block number: 438785
Size: ~ 60 GB [60,785 MB]
Uncompressed size: ~ 100 GB

Format: compressed 7zip containing a bootstrap.dat.
Move the decompressed bootstrap.dat into your Bitcoin-Qt application folder and (re)start your Bitcoin-Qt client.

If you don't know how it works you can check the details on the download page.
Indexed with bitcoin core v0.13.1 on Mac OSX platform.

Beware that after decompressing the 7zip file, you need additional 100 GB to import the bootstrap file!

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.

I don't think core's client is faster than bitorrent... with bitorrent I can reach speeds of around 800kb/s, I have never reached anywhere as close with core client. In any case like you said, it's when the validation of the blocks happen when most computers suffer. My computer is a modest one that was top of the line in 2010 but 6 years later is not that good anymore... it struggles to update the blockchain. Syncing is so damn slow. Unless I open the client everyday, if I miss a couple of days it starts getting really annoying.

I think you still can, but according to release notes dating back to 0.10 (I think) you'll find that using a bootstrap is slower than simply syncing.

[EL_Criptico]

Thanks for share! Can u update the blockchain archive? If i'm not mistaken, now its more then 100 GBs. 

[Toxic_Cat]

I'm getting error with sync this backups. Critical Error, Over and over, and starting download from beginning (error in 7-10 weeks)

[QuestionAuthority]

Somehow Bitcoin just seems less user friendly after reading this thread. LOL

[Jet Cash]

Wouldn't it be easier to buy the blockchain copy on a DVD?

You mean a large box of dvd's. LOL

After reading this thread I only confirm the theory that says humans tend to complicate and make everything look way harder than it is.

Yes, you can of course.
As far as I know the bootstrap blockchain file should work on any OS running an up-to-date version of bitcoin-qt.
Let me know if it fails on any (non standard OS) for whatever reason.
