Where am I supposed to copy this bootstrap file first I did it in ~/.bitcoin folder and then ~/.bitcoin/database nothing makes any effect let me tell you Place bootstrap.dat in the bitcoin data directory and then start Bitcoin-Qt. It will read the file to create the blockchain. The file will be renamed to bootstrap.dat.old when this is completed to prevent reprocessing when Bitcoin-Qt is restarted. You can locate the data directory by reading this.From : http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/19097/connecting-bootstrap-dat-to-bitcoin-qtI copied this file when bitcoin already synchronized few thousand blocks
You can use the bootstrap.dat torrent with no ill effects regardless of your current block. When you restart and Bitcoin sees the bootstrap.dat that you have dropped in it's data directory, any block hashes you already have will be skipped quickly, and the import will pick up at the blocks you don't have.From this current post

Just a note, your SSL certificate expired at end of January. The site now pops up scary messages about untrusted connections if you try to download the file.

This was needed, took me 20 hours to sync completely from the start. Keep updating it.

So I downloaded this blockchain torrent and and ran bitcoind in a screen session on Sunday. A line of "y"s kept running down my screen, as if it's checking the file block by block? Anyway, I typed "ps aux" and it says that a procees called "YES" was using up almost 100% of one core, and screen was using up 56% of another. I just checked in on my VPS, and the thing is still maxing out almost 2 cores. Does anyone know what could be happening here?

Forgot to mention... the following python util, linearize.py, was checked into the bitcoin repo today: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/contrib/linearizeThis tool may be used to recreate bootstrap.dat byte-for-byte identical with the bootstrap.dat in this torrent. If you are running bitcoind locally, create bootstrap.dat locally, then start seeding the torrent immediately at 100%! reminder + can u pls update OP, so every1 can use it? ty 4 da tool

Backup here from the Torrent directly: http://uptobox.com/96wymisfbixfFor people who want to know about ISP in France providing 1Gbit/s home connection, it depends your location, if you are an enterprise, etc.. but you can check with FREE.FR, ORANGE.FR, NUMERICABLE.FR, etc. Some also offer VPS, you can see with OVH.com

The problem with these torrents is that the peers can be seeding out of date versions. People have to manually notice an updated torrent and go download that instead. If we used Bittorrent Sync ( http://www.getsync.com) then a highly trusted member of the community could have the main 'secret' and everyone else who just wants to download can have the 'read-only secret'. In fact that trusted member can also share it with a couple of other trusted members, so that any of a small group of people could update the bootstrap.dat, whereas the usual peers could only get the updates. Like this, the file can just be updated and all the peers will notice and update their copy, downloading only the chunks that are different/new. No new torrent needs to be distributed or freshly seeded.

Sync is a closed proprietary system. No way I'm seeding anything there or even touch that binary.

I can't verify the signature of the original post. Why? felipelalli:tmp/ $ gpg --verify ~/tmp/jeff [18:04:06] gpg: Signature made Sáb 11 Jan 17:04:44 2014 BRST using RSA key ID A2DB9CCA gpg: BAD signature from "Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@bitpay.com>"

It seems like pasting from the OP confuses PGP.
