Can I download the blockchain blocks from torrent and paste them?

Currently my Bitcoin Core client was stopped syncing at 40.73%. It was not progressing any more. I've downloaded the Blockchain from https://getbitcoinblockchain.com/ . Can I just copy these blocks and paste these downloaded blocks to my Bitcoin > Blocks ? Will everything be fine ? Will the Bitcoin Core client accepts the downloaded blockchain ?

Yes you can download the blockchain from other sources then paste it inside the your main bitcoin folder. You will need two folders: - blocks - chainstate Then open bitcoin-qt for synchronization.

There's no point though as letting bitcoind do the downloading should be strictly faster and more efficient. If something's wrong there it might be better to fix the underlying problem. – Jannes – 2017-10-21T09:16:07.307
