Hi,
Multibit isn't connecting to the network. It sits for hours spamming into the log.
[2016-12-12 13:09:45,210] ERROR [PeerGroup Thread] o.b.c.PeerGroup - Peer discovery failure, class:org.bitcoinj.net.discovery.PeerDiscoveryException, message:No peer discovery returned any results: check internet connection?
My internet connection is wide open. I can connect to arbitrary sites on 8333 as
http://portquiz.net:8333/ validates
Clients like bitcoin-qt find peers and connect just fine.
Digging what I believe to be the dnsseed entries (given the bitcoinj core source
https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/bitcoinj/params/MainNetParams.java) gives results for some but not for others.

So what, exactly, is Multibits problem? Is it trying the first (seed.bitcoin.sipa.be) and giving up? Why isn't it connecting? Are there any command line options I can give that'll force it to try a certain IP as a peer so I can bootstrap it manually past something that's breaking?
Help?
Could any devs here please comment as this is a huge problem. I've got bitcoins in this wallet and need to be able to spend them and can't cos it isn't connecting to the network.
