@super3 The Bitcoin Foundation does not officially or unofficially offer the torrent. That's all me, in my spare time.

@jgarzik Where does the Bitcoin Foundation come into this PR at all? I don't see @super3 suggesting they endorse anything...

Whoops, didn't read my writers work well enough. @luke-jr There is an incorrect assertion in the actually tutorial. @jgarzik Sorry about that. Fixing it now.

Ok, that has been fixed. Let me know if there is anything else.

Automatic sanity-testing: PASSED, see http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/1b61d988987f9197ff2fb321c1dbf0a246ea349e for binaries and test log. This test script verifies pulls every time they are updated. It, however, dies sometimes and fails to test properly. If you are waiting on a test, please check timestamps to verify that the test.log is moving at http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/current/ Contact BlueMatt on freenode if something looks broken.

However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions (which is currently several GBs); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more. Thankfully you only have to do this once. If you would like the process to go faster you can [download the blockchain directly](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145386.0).

It would be best to include this guide in the Bitcoin tree instead of referring to an external site. Not that this is worse than referring people to the bitcointalk forums.
