I don't remember exactly but i think all you need to do is put the bootstrap file in the data directory of bitcoin and then just start bitcoind.

However note that bootstrap is obsolete as of version 0.10 and downloading is faster and (disk usage lower) without it.

Don't waste too much time trying to get it to work if bandwidth is not costly for you.

  • Haven't tried a complete new download myself yet. I hear for some people it can be done in a ~8 hours. CPU can be a bottleneck too since all transactions needs to be verified.
