Apologies for the new mandatory just after the last build, but it's worth it. 
Build 1116 has various improvements to connectivity for nodes with low MTUs 
and/or evil firewalls. Such nodes cannot successfully send or receive large 
UDP packets. Connecting to seednodes has always used such big packets, hence 
it hasn't worked for many newbies - especially newbies on wierd connections. 
This build implements support for a group lookup table; once this build is 
mandatory (Monday), I will implement the other half of this support, and we 
will be able to cut the size of the biggest seednode connection setup packets 
from ~ 1400 bytes to ~ 900 bytes. Hence anywhere you can connect via darknet 
you'll be able to connect via opennet. Of course, such connections may be 
problematic once you are connected; that's a larger problem which will be 
addressed after 0.7.0, but 1116 and 1117 should provide enough for a usable 
opennet connection in many more places than 1115.

Please upgrade to 1116 asap. Thanks. And please report bugs to
