Does it mean I need to add some CPU temporarily to AWS EC2? Now I am using t2.micro.

<p>I'm downloading bitcoin main-net node to AWS instance. However it doesn't finished yet even though it has already passed four days.
My node's latest block is 321,744, and the latest block of Bitcoin main-net is 385,707.
Could you tell me how to hasten the speed of downloading?</p>

Sync of bitcoin main-net does not finished yet. Are there any ways to speed up it?
