You did not change the other settings of the wallet? I added all the nodes that are on the last pages of this topic, but still no sync starts.
The only appropriate additional changes are these:
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
Does your machine have a public IP address? And did you open the port 17012 in the firewall? If you do open it, you have much better chances of finding a peer.
Also you need to make sure your wallet indeed finds and opens the "quatloo.conf" file. Change some settings in the file, restart the wallet and look into the logs to see if they are applied.
