user81588: I am planning on doing some transaction analysis on the blockchain, however, I only want to do it on a small part of the blockchain first and then run it on the full blockchain later on. I have downloaded the bitcoind client, is there any way to only sync up to a certain block?

user24925: bitcoind supports the argument -stopatheight, which takes the number of blocks to download before halting.
