Just checked, my rather ancient 5.0.15-alpha is having 22 connections atm. When you say you had 8 connections, you probably had only outgoing connections and are not a listening node. I see only three peers of my 22 are outgoing, all other 19 are incoming connections.

You might want to try these three listening nodes in your conf file:

Thanks for your reply. I tried adding these nodes to my config file and unfortunately the wallet still was unable to find any connections. I took a look at the debug file and it keeps on saying "connection timed out." Would you happen to have any idea what the problem is?

Thank you!
