Can I speed up testnet node sync time?

Node

I might take full 24 hours to sync the entire thing on my laptop.

If you are already using out of band catchup (which is configured by default in all distributions) then there is no additional supported way of speeding up catchup.

Iā€™m running node with docker, as described here

If you have CONCORDIUM_NODE_CONSENSUS_DOWNLOAD_BLOCKS_FROM set then you are using out of band catchup.

Other than that, the main way to speed up catchup is to use a faster disk, since that is the bottleneck typically.

CONCORDIUM_NODE_CONSENSUS_DOWNLOAD_BLOCKS_FROM=https://catchup.testnet.concordium.com/blocks.idx

Yes, that is the correct link. So you just have to wait :slight_smile:
