Block snapshot torrent

To speed up initial block download, I have added a torrent that contains all blocks on main net. The torrent is updated weekly, and the latest version can always be found on
http://neptunefundamentals.org:42580/latest-snapshot.torrent.

To use this, you need to unpack the files and point the neptune-core client to the directory where the blocks were extracted. After the blocks have been read, the downloaded files can be deleted, as neptune-core will have created its own copy of the blocks.

Launch neptune-core with the arguments --bootstrap-from-directory <directory> (avoid using ~ in the path if you’re on Linux).

For more information about bootstrapping from blocks, see neptune-core/docs/src/user-guides/bootstrapping-state.md at master · Neptune-Crypto/neptune-core · GitHub
