Hi,
I have downloaded the latest version of the Ethereum Wallet and need to update the blockchain data.
But it takes forever... I gain about 4k Blocks a day, with 830.000+ still missing. Network speed is 40Mbit+ and usually connected with 10+ peers.
Is there any way to get the blockchain faster?

Situation is getting worse:
Even if I keep the wallet running, Blocks are currently faster created then downloaded. The wallet also slows down other applications significantly.
If no one cares to help, I will have to assume, that Ethereum is completely unusable for private and small business purposes and also for any IoT applications.
The biggest contributor to slow speeds is using a HDD instead of an SSD. The IO of an HDD can be easily swamped by sync'ing and cause performance degradation across the whole system
I would consider it a bug / bad system design.
Is there any way to download the blockchain elsewere or any other solution then reinstalling my complete PC?
Even with fast sync, >3mio blocks will probably take days / weeks to sync on my HDD. Could I move the blockchain data to an SSD? At the moment it seems to hard coded to my system disc.
