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 ?

  • You can certainly download the blockchain and copy the blocks. Keep in mind though that the process of blockchain synchronization involves downloading and validating blocks. By downloading a torrent you are not validating the blocks so there may be additional risks.

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.
