Here's a peers.dat from 9/6/15 2:57PM EST with 14 connections. Just do the initial startup to get your base files, close the wallet (backup your wallet.dat if neccessary), replace peers.dat, and start the wallet back up. You should get more connections faster. If you wait too long from the time of upload it may not work as well but I can always get you a fresh copy.

murderouskirk I should be online for the next 5 hours if your available to post an updated copy of your peers.dat i will try again.
murderouskirk i should be popping online every hour or so all day so if your available to post an updated copy of your peers.dat i will try again (not really sure if thats the issue though as i have lots of connections).
Thanks for the help.
Sorry HashStatz I was away from my pc. Did you try it with the uploaded peers.dat?
On a similar note, if anyone wants to spin up Swing on a serer and share the IP we can put it as an addnode in the example config for better network connections.
