Not after reseeding, but on the stable network, definitely after
restarting. A download that's been stuck for hours in FUQID will often
complete within a few minutes just after restarting the node. My guess
is that this is related to the failure table, and that restarting the
node clears the FT and lets the requests pass, where they subsequently
succeed.

Back when I was doing a DBR freesite, I'd restart the node before trying
to insert, it wouldn't complete otherwise. There does seem to be
something about a restart, after allowing some time to get a good number
of connections, that's better than a "tired" node.

On unstable, it doesn't seem to make a difference lately whether the
node has been up for 18 hours or whether it was just started, everything
is very smooth.
