Howdy, gotta bother y'all one last time. Do you have to be port forwarded to get good connections on this network? I think that's my problem because my modem (or something) doesn't let me get port forwarded, I tried messing with my routers over a full day before to fix this problem and couldn't ever get it done. Hasn't been much of a problem in crypto so far, but I think that's perhaps my problem here?

have done so on multiple operating systems, which is why I am back asking for help... it took over 7 hours to get 1/3rd the blockchain loaded yesterday (0-2 connections, bounces back to 0 over and over), I really want to stake but I'm ready to give up on that if you have to be port forwarded
You can use bootstrap. Current windows bootstrap -
and Linux/Mac on first page (older build).
