When a new node connects to the network, it has to find nodes to connect to. "Seednodes" help this process: a node connects to 3 seednodes, sends announcements through them, and then hopefully the announcements will return nodes for it to connect to.
At the moment we have 23 seednodes, but only 8 to 12 of them actually connect at any one time. If you want to help the network, have at least 256kbps upstream bandwidth, and a static IP (or at least a dyndns address), please check in your config that "Be a seednode" is enabled, and send me your node reference. This should significantly improve performance for new nodes, and therefore hopefully get us more users, more content, etc etc. Thanks!
