[Ethereum] Parity warp syncing slow

paritysynchronizationwarp-sync

This is the first time I try to install an Ethereum client and I'm trying with Parity v1.6.6 on Arch Linux (sudo pacman -S parity).

I read that the –warp option allows to save time not syncing the whole blockchain but honestly it seems still slow for my expectations…

I'm running it from 30 minutes and it's syncing snapshot 1/158, is it normal?


Just few minutes ago it re-started from zero:

concernes me, is this about some request from the Parity UI?

Best Answer

You are either on a bad connection or you don't have enough peers which can provide you with a warp snapshot. You can add extra warp snapshot peers with:

parity --snapshot-peers 16

This will help maintaining the warp sync.
