I download with an average of 450mbps.

How fast can I DL the blockchain on a new ssd?

I have 1000 Mbps connection and still it took around 1.5 days.

It’s more about CPU and RAM of your node, and tweaking the database cache settings during IBD. I’ve synced nodes in 18 hours with 32 GB and an old laptop. I think Bitcoin Core 28 has that “assume valid” setting now allowing the node to start working after it syncs from the last halving. Could be wrong on that.

If the Hash rate of your device not change, same time as last time you sync it. My device is at 755 EH/s and needs 2 days.

450Ă—1000000000Ă—8Ă·450000000Ă·60Ă·60

2.22 hours?

Download speed isn't the limiting factor 🤔

Who cares? Start downloading and wait. Low time preference ftw.
