Please make sure you use the bootstrap for your wallet version. You can check wallet version in Tools > Information (GUI) or with "getnetworkinfo" in Debug Console or raptoreum-cli.

Staring at versions 1.3.17.00-01 you also have the option to bootstrap using only powcache.dat which is also supplied on this page. Bootstrapping using powcache.dat may be faster for some people, especially those with slower connection speeds.

There is a video guide on how to bootstrap here: https://youtu.be/m41ue-xjpMU
