I'm running Abe to generate a Blockchain clone. It's been generating the database for over 3 days. The server is not very powerful, but 3 days seems too much time. The last tx output:

block_tx 121881 469801 block_tx 121881 469802 block_tx 121881 469803 block_tx 121881 469804 block_tx 121881 469805 block_tx 121881 469806 block_tx 121881 469807 block_tx 121881 469808 block_tx 121881 469809 commit block_tx 121882 469810 block_tx 121882 469811 block_tx 121882 469812 block_tx 121882 469813 block_tx 121882 469814 block_tx 121882 469815 block_tx 121882 469816 block_tx 121882 469817 block_tx 121882 469818 block_tx 121882 469819 block_tx 121882 469820 commit block_tx 121883 469821 block_tx 121883 469822 block_tx 121883 469823 block_tx 121883 469824 block_tx 121883 469825 block_tx 121883 469826 block_tx 121883 469827 block_tx 121883 469828 block_tx 121883 469829 block_tx 121883 469830 block_tx 121883 469831 block_tx 121883 469832 block_tx 121883 469833 block_tx 121883 469834 block_tx 121883 469835 block_tx 121883 469836 block_tx 121883 469837 block_tx 121883 469838 block_tx 121883 469839 commit

Is this correct? How much more time will I need to wait?

Thanks

The initial block file parsing can take a lot of time. From the readme:

Reading the block files takes much too long, several days or more for the main BTC block chain as of 2013. However, if you use a persistent database, Abe remembers where it stopped reading and starts more quickly the second time.

It depends on the hardware you have, besides a good CPU it probably benefits from a fast hard drive (SSD at best). On my Macbook Air (2013, 8GB RAM, i7, SSD) it took a few days.
