<p>So after digging I got the solution, using this kit.setCheckpoints( new FileInputStream("checkpoints")); it was checking the file in the same package so to provide the exact path I have used 
kit.setCheckpoints( ReadProperties.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("checkpoints"));</p>

<p>I am using <a href="https://github.com/GENERALBYTESCOM/litecoinj" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>litecoinj</code></a> which is forked from <code>bitcoinj</code> but compared to <code>bitcoinj</code>, the wallet creation and block synching is slow when using <code>litecoinj</code>. So, I searched for a solution and found a post that suggests to download checkpoints in a file and pass the file while creating wallet, but I guess it's not working.</p>

<pre><code>kit.setCheckpoints( new FileInputStream("checkpoints"));
</code></pre>

<p>How can I speed up the syncing of <code>litecoinj</code>?</p>

Is there anything I can do to speed up the synchronization of litecoinj?

I am using [`litecoinj`](https://github.com/GENERALBYTESCOM/litecoinj) which is forked from `bitcoinj` but compared to `bitcoinj`, the wallet creation and block synching is slow when using `litecoinj`. So, I searched for a solution and found a post that suggests to download checkpoints in a file and pass the file while creating wallet, but I guess it's not working.

```
kit.setCheckpoints( new FileInputStream("checkpoints"));

```

How can I speed up the syncing of `litecoinj`?
