Torrent of the Bitcoin Blockchain

[jackg]

Does anyone have a torrent of the Bitcoin Blockchain that they could send?
Or any way of sending the blockchain over the internet inorder to speed up my initial syncronisation.
I've been told that it may be slower downloading it this way but want to try anyway and at least have a copy of the blockchain.

Do you know if that is updated regularly or if it is slightly outdated.
I thought the blockchain was around 80/90GB now instead of the 70 that it is said to be on there?

It's from 4th june. it's written on the post and file. so yeah, it's outdated. you'll have to download the rest of the blockchain.

Ok, thanks. I'll get to doing that on my external hard drive tomorrow.
I have torrenting software already installed so that should be easy.
The other 9 days shouldn't take too long to download.

It depends on which kind you are using, bootstrap.dat or the entire directory. With bootstrap.dat, the entire blockchain is downloaded but the client have to verify it by themselves. If the entire directory has been pre-verified, the client would not have to reverify it unless the user uses -reindex during start up. One downside though, the pre-verified one would obviously be less secure than the bootstrap.dat.
