Is there a safety reason to stop within the last 2000 blocks or can it be tweaked to stop at remaining 500 blocks for example?

Not really. I’ll change it to 1000 next time.

Either way, it’s an amazing improvement over the older version! Great work!

I ran two side by side (using the current release, and your new faster one) and in the time it took the newer one to download (twice) after a wipe, the original was still only about a few thousand blocks into it’s download. 😁
