[masterluc]

I tryed to download this blockchain snapshot http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/blockchain/

File bitcoin_blockchain_170000.zip

After unzip I see a listing:

Code:

blk0001.dat
blkindex.dat
README.txt
SHASUMS.asc

SHASUMS.asc contents:

Code:

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Signature is correct and checksums okay, but they are SHA1 sums, not SHA512 like it written in file (Hash: SHA512)
sha512:

Code:

[bt@mail bitcoin_blockchain_170000]$ sha512sum blk0001.dat 
1a2fe85e3f7d4e2e566aa73daee54e8a7bda657237ca477193f024136fe7311273f862f539dee2cce3650d35dcd732a8a9b6d98d1b3e22bda43b9b310e0b151b  blk0001.dat
[bt@mail bitcoin_blockchain_170000]$ sha512sum blkindex.dat 
91697d7b22ff4fd0470c021c1b68c3040cdac49d47bf3c47dfdb10f1fc60dd41f44fa74b9e65ab81a8da61ee8b8ffd99dd0fa6c73a43a3f215e59633cc83b8ce  blkindex.dat

sha1:

Code:

[bt@mail bitcoin_blockchain_170000]$ sha1sum blkindex.dat 
5e81a938566065f61ae827ecfaef0162fbf82f30  blkindex.dat

That "Hash:" line is part of the pgp signature. The file is called SHASUMS and not SHA256SUMS because it's sha1.

(Incidentally, those files are old and are likely only of historical interest)

ah, okay

[masterluc]

besides, I didnt find 250000 snapshot. Is there any?

Thanks alot. Downloading that chain. Devs really should consider on partial sharing chain in vanilla client. Yesterday I got not enough disk space in bitcoin partition =)
