How to download and extract the snapshot?

Pick a snapshot from the list above and copy the link. Take note of the file extension which is either .zstd or .lz4.

Single-threaded

# Set the URL of the snapshot
URL="<paste the URL of the snapshot>"

# Download and extract the snapshot
wget -O- $URL | lz4 -dc | tar -xaf -  # For lz4-compressed archives
wget -O- $URL | zstd -dc | tar -xaf - # For zstd-compressed archives

Multi-threaded

# Install aria2c
sudo apt update && sudo apt install aria2

# Set the URL of the snapshot, take note of the file extension
URL="<paste the URL of the snapshot>"
FILENAME=$(basename $URL)

# Download and extract the snapshot
aria2c -x 8 -s 8 $URL

# Decompress and extract the snapshot
lz4 -dc $FILENAME | tar -xaf -      # For lz4-compressed archives
zstd -dc $FILENAME -T0 | tar -xaf - # For zstd-compressed archives
The aria2c -x flag specifies the number of connections, and the -s flag specifies the number of segments per connection. You can adjust these values based on your network speed and the server's capabilities.
