Erigon sync taking forever + ZMQ setup issues - need help!

[TuP4C]

Hey guys,

I've been trying for almost 4 weeks to get Erigon running properly, and it's been a real struggle. I desperately need a local node to stream directly from the mempool for a time-sensitive project.
Even with my nvme m.2 ssd, the sync process is painfully slow. Last attempt, I finally reached step 10 out of 12 snapshots, but the execution part alone took about 5 days before crashing again. Is this normal, or is something wrong with my setup?
Additionally, I'm struggling with ZMQ for real-time mempool monitoring. With Erigon 2.61.2, I had to set up a Python bridge to connect WebSockets to ZMQ since native support wasn't available. Has anyone successfully used the native ZMQ functionality in newer Erigon versions? Is it significantly more stable than using a bridge? Which kind of flags are you using

This is my current configuration:

nano start-erigon.sh
#!/bin/bash
/mnt/d/ethereum-node/erigon/build/bin/erigon
--datadir="/mnt/d/ethereum-node/erigon-data"
--chain=mainnet
--http
--http.api=eth,txpool,erigon,engine,debug,net,web3
--http.port=8545
--http.vhosts=*
--ws
--ws.port=8546
--prune=htc
--prune.h.older=10000
--prune.r.older=10000
--prune.t.older=10000
--prune.c.older=10000
--snapshots
--maxpeers=100
--private.api.addr=localhost:9090
--db.read.concurrency=40
--txpool.gossip.disable=false
--torrent.download.rate=75m
--torrent.upload.rate=50m
--log.console.verbosity=info
--nat=none
--torrent.port=42069

chmod +x start-erigon.sh
./start-erigon.sh

Any tips to accelerate the process or at least get it running stably would be hugely appreciated!

Use Erigon3

Also without logs of erigon we don’t know what your node doing

Here are some of the errors I've been encountering. Unfortunately, I don't have all the logs anymore since I've had to restart multiple times:

[EROR] [03-02|07:41:15.693] Could not start execution service err="[1/12 Snapshots] can't build missed indices: v1-014500-015000-transactions.seg: ParseTransaction: rlp parse transaction: expected envelope in the payload, got 1e, blockNum: 14884154, i: 69240196"

I've also had occasional errors like crypto/elliptic: attempted operation on invalid point that seemed related to peer connections.
Regarding my setup - I'm running Erigon in WSL2 on Windows with an 2TB NVME SSD. I've noticed that sometimes the disk I/O seems to be a bottleneck. I've tried various combinations of parameters but still experiencing long sync times and occasional crashes.
About my current flags - do they look reasonable for my use case? I'm particularly interested in streaming from the mempool reliably.
Also, does Erigon have native ZMQ support in newer versions? I'm currently using version 2.61.2 which doesn't seem to have this functionality.
