? It's reliably much faster than IRC in my testing. It pretty much always gets connections within a second of starting.
Hmm, maybe I hadn't ports opened or something.

I submittted a pull, maybe a waste if they are switching to DNS seeding.
However, DNS seeding seems pretty slow at the moment.

Don't bother with the IRC bootstrapping. Add -dnsseed to your startup arguments.
IRC bootstrapping is going to go away in future versions of bitcoin, so getting more people testing with dnsseed now would be good.

Do I need to specify an IP address for -dnsseed, or is it hard coded?
No arguments required. (There are some hardcoded dnsseeds in the software)

The standard client connects to irc.lfnet.org for discovery. Some ISPs disable IRC on the default port, it would be helpful to be able to set a different port in bitcoin.conf.
Is lfnet controlled by the dev team? If so, could more than 1 port be made available for connecting.

irc.lfnet.org listens on ports 6667 to 6669 and 7777, SSL on 6697
it should be trivial to change the port in the source code
