There's a= bigger problem here honestly. The p2p network is just starved for connecta= ble slots.

Suggestions:

- massively increas= ing all the anti-DoS limits in 0.4, so far they've caused a lot more da= mage than they solved.

- broadcasting an "upgrade no= w" type announcement. The alert system is intended for informing users= when there's a threat to system stability and that's exactly what = has been happening recently.
