Why is the synchronization of previous XRP blocks so slow?????
Why is the synchronization of previous XRP blocks so slow? I’ve been running it for 4 days, and it has only synced data from the past month.
Hello. To double check: is your intention to run the node in a Historical mode? When using the node in validation mode, it should take ~15 when starting from scratch to get into the state where the node is fully synced with recent data and ready to start proposing new ledgers.

- Details about ledger history
- More information about storing full history, in case that's what you're trying to do.
The short explanation is:
- Fetching history is the lowest priority operation in
rippled. - Providing history is burdensome to the other nodes your node is connected to (peers). If your node requests too much data too quickly, your peers may get overloaded and drop you. To avoid that,
rippledsends historical data requests slowly. You might be able to get more data more quickly by allowing more connections in your configuration.
Frankly, getting a month's ledgers in only 4 days isn't bad.
