I'm syncing testnet and according to block explorers, it's currently 1.5 million blocks long... at the rate I'm syncing it will take approx 1 month to fully sync. why hasn't testnet been reset? damn the chain is too long for testing.

I usually start a full testnet sync in the evening and it's done by the next day. Is the limiting factor at the moment the bandwidth available or disk? A month seems rather excessive.
