I believe I see whats happening here -
Weve had such a large increase in users but when a new user is just getting started, their peers.dat file is still empty, so you only know about one node.
The node.biblepay.org was exceeding its connection limit, so I just added this to the config (if we have any other external node volunteers out there):
maxconnections=300
Now I see the connections are increasing; please try again.
I increased the maximum number of connections to the block explorer's node, it should be pretty reliable.
It can be added manually as previously described, by adding to your .conf
addnode=biblepay.inspect.network
or in the debug menu/command line using
addnode biblepay.inspect.network add
