Title: Taking hours to get my client connected
Post by: Vitalik Buterin on June 29, 2011, 10:47:16 AM
My client is, for the past few weeks, taking a really long time to get connected to the network. Is there any way I can fix this?

Add some fallback nodes (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Fallback_Nodes).

Try using google DNS (8.8.8.8) or http://www.opendns.com/ (http://www.opendns.com/). This already worked for other people.
