I don't have any problems with connecting the network, i also don't have any addnodes added in my conf file.
If i delete my peers.dat and start the wallet again, i'm connected to the network in some seconds.
If you haven't done this yet you could try to open port 15298 at your firewall/router.
Yeah, I think it's an obscure bug, because it only happens when people use a SOCKS proxy, and that's probably fairly rare. My client has full outbound connectivity via the proxy, so that's not the issue - there's something in the code which isn't discovering and saving the peers for some reason. ORB isn't the only coin affected by this - HYP, ORB and CLAM all need periodic updating of a manual addnode list.
The other bug is that the client is trying to do DNS lookups when it's supposed to be using SOCKS.
