<p>The "two years behind" is not telling you how long the synchronization will take but what time you are caught up with. Bitcoin processes history much faster than real time.  If you are at two years behind you are most of the way done.  If you click the "behind" text it should give you an estimated time left counter.</p>

The "two years behind" is not telling you how long the synchronization will take but what time you are caught up with. Bitcoin processes history much faster than real time. If you are at two years behind you are most of the way done. If you click the "behind" text it should give you an estimated time left counter.
