I have been using the parity client to download the ethereum database for the last few days. Despite using the warp sync to download it, I havent been able to download the last few blocks fast enough. It is downloading at the speed the blocks are being mined. If I keep on downloading at this rate I will never be able to achieve a full sync.

This is how i start parity in the CLI:

parity --snapshot-peers 20 --cache-size 1024 --db-compaction ssd --tracing off --pruning fast --mode active

This is what I am getting so far:

I am running the parity 1.7.8 stable client on a windows 10. Is there any way to speed it up? There should be no reason why 3000 blocks should be taking so long

  • Is that an SSD or a HDD?

    It is a HDD, and my parity has managed to sync after I left it on after a few days. So it is not an issue now

The sync took about 2 days to fully sync, so it is not an issue now. The parity client was just a little slow
