Thank you very much for this! But I am still having issues... I first tried your suggestion of adding maxconnections=50 to the config file and restarting the wallet but it never connects to more than 20-some nodes and is still unbearably slow to sync. I have all the nodes added to the config from the main magnetwork.io instructions so unless there are more to add from elsewhere I should be good here. I then put the bootstrap file into my ~/.magnet directory and restarted the wallet. The bootstrap.dat file immediately changed to bootstrap.dat.old and after waiting a full hour it is no further along in the sync process than before. Very very slow. I've used bootstrap files for a number of other wallets without issues but typically they were on windows. I am in the process of setting up a temporary ubuntu box today to test this locally to see if I get the same results and if not, hopefully I can just copy over the .magnet directory and get this working. Thanks again for your suggestions and help thus far. I am determined to get this to work and I hope to have success today.
