Got screwed because.... bitcoin is not making any connections and im waiting on a payment. And the real kicker. I just sent some money to http://flipforbits.com/  but it doesnt see I have made a payment because my client is not working. So im going to lose the coins I just bet?

edit: ok I have 1 connection now... maybe it can confirm some stuff for me XD... and back to 0

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

You can try adding one or more fallback nodes. Either modify (or create) your bitcoin.conf to have one or more lines like...

Code:
addnode=x.x.x.x

or add one or more of the following arguments to your command line...

Code:
-addnode=x.x.x.x

IP addresses from those on the fallback node list are good candidates (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Fallback_Nodes)

Any of these in this list: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Fallback_Nodes#IPv4_Nodes

For example, your bitcoin.conf might look like...

Code:
addnode=64.22.103.150
addnode=69.164.218.197
addnode=173.242.112.53
addnode=178.79.147.99

Or your command line...

Code:
bitcoin.exe -addnode=64.22.103.150 -addnode=69.164.218.197 -addnode=173.242.112.53 -addnode=178.79.147.99
