Initial Bitcoin download extremely slow with errors in logs

Support and Troubleshooting
1

I’m making <0.5% progress a day and am only at 17%. I’ve been syncing for at least a few weeks now. I have a Raspberry Pi 4, 8 GB RAM, running umbrelOS 1.2.1, with a 2TB SSD. For reference I downloaded BitcoinCore to my iMac and it sync’d in 2 days. So It seems to be something with the Umbrel setup or possibly TOR. My iMac didn’t sync over TOR, but I do have a TOR browser installed and can connect to TOR with that just fine. When I check the bitcoin app logs on my umbrel I see a LOT of tor/i2p related errors and warnings. Does anyone have ideas what’s going on or how to fix it? At this rate it’ll take me half a year to get sync’d!

Bump. Has anyone seen these errors before?

Status update: It’s been nearly 2 weeks and I’m now at 23%. 12 days and I got 5% progress of older and smaller blocks. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

I’m still seeing all of these same errors and I imagine they (or whatever is causing them) is the reason everything is going so slowly. Please anyone ideas? Makes me wish I had gone with Raspiblitz or something.
