Bitcoin QT slow synchronizing (been DAYS and it's at 20%)

Hey everyone...
So this has definitely come up a few times but my case seem a bit different. I have left BitCoin-qt 0.8.6 (Mac OSX Mavericks) running for a few days now on a 15-20Mbps connection and I am only at 20% synch. Is there something wrong or something I can do to speed this up?
Thanks!

edit: sorry I read it completely now .. .. maybe just keep it sync and stop doing anything

Try searching google for bitcoin bootstrap.dat
https://www.google.com/search?q=bitcoin+bootstrap.dat&oq=bitcoin+bootstrap
That should help you get the blockchain faster.

Open the debug window in the help menu. There you will see the current number of blocks and the estimated total blocks and the last block time. See if the current number of blocks field is going up. If so it's OK. Then you probably have a slow computer or have a lot of programs running in the background.

Thank you! That's downloading at over 2.5MBps so it shouldn't be more than a few hours. That file is from august though so I will probably still have some catching up to do afterwards =/
But seriously...thank you haha exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

hey,
There is nothing you can do to speed this up, except to wait.

multibit won't download blockchain thus sync will take only few minutes
