Hello I’ve recently made a donation and spent 2 days downloading the bootstrap.dat file but from some reason it’s not syncing but I also have just installed bitcoin core but there is no sync time on there because starting from beginning so could this could be a possibility also?
Newer version of Bitcoin may require to define the bootstrap.dat import file using: -loadblock=
Imports blocks from external file on startup
Give it a try.
Did you validate the checksums after download?
