Sounds like a plan.  Double check the repo -- I will be committing the checkpoint update tonight to the source - I'm about 60k blocks from needing the TX number I need for that file.  So far, other than the shitton of orphans that are in the chain, the client seems to be able do download.  I used your 46 node to seed my client via config file and it took off like a shot.  IRC seeding has been removed from this client as well.  If we get a good seedbox or two up, we should be set.  I also recommend changing the default ports soon before we 'officially' package up binaries for the client.  For some reason when looking in my xenseeder logs and even in the client logs, I see TONS of litecoin clients (by port) coming in and out of my connections -- maybe we can tone that down a little by moving ports.  Not sure yet.

If you're interested, I'm most likely going to register a domain name - if you have a little room anywhere, and I can point a subdomain over to you for a xenseed node to run -- that will help a lot.  We can lock in the address in the client and it will have a seed-node to start with.  As we can add a couple more, we'll code them into the client as well.  I'm about a month out from spinning up another server for my hosting company (16 cores/10tb/64gb ram) and I'll be putting a VM or two on there to keep coin things going for everyone. 

I had some financial setbacks over the last couple months and they albeit stopped me from getting a different coin off the ground -- so for what it's worth - after we get everything stable again, I accept donations
