Slow at "connecting to peers" | Bitcointalksearch.org

Using 0.14, upon initialization, the client sits at "connecting to peers".

Here's a sample from the log:
2017-03-31 12:57:56 Loading addresses from DNS seeds (could take a while)
2017-03-31 12:57:58 119 addresses found from DNS seeds

It's on peer 61 and has taken about 10 hours just on this stage alone.

Things I've tried:

I've restarted
Checked port blocking software (Windows defender is off)
Checked CPU usage (it's at 0%)

I've tried to search for this problem but haven't seen much.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Updated - blew away the entire directory and started from scratch, appears to be working now
