In case you haven't gotten any peers yet -
Go to help -> debug console
Type in "addnode add"
Where is one or more of the nodes below

62.59.168.89:33666
149.202.102.73:33666
149.210.168.71:33666
192.169.6.147:33666
23.94.55.149:33666
82.200.205.30:33666
109.105.40.15:33666
104.200.67.31:33666
78.248.188.112:33666
81.7.13.208:33666
93.195.217.158:33666

You can then take one of the ones you added and do "addnode onetry" to get an immediate connection to any specific node out there.

Just note, these are already hardcoded into the client so it should automatically pick them up after a few minutes.
