Syntax
~> boot <peer ip> <peer udp port>
Description
(obsolete) Each Overnet peer maintains a local list of known peer addresses, that is updated with addresses found during normal peer communications (searches, publishing,...).
Once you know some valid peer addresses, this is fully automatic; But at first you need one valid address to start from, manually adding that address is called \"booting\" or \"bootstrapping\" the Overnet network ([1]).
Things to try :
Check [2] for peers addresses.
Older bootstrap addresses :
~> boot overnet.dyndns.org 4665
%%%~> boot overnet.gotdns.com 4665
%%%~> boot overnet.no-ip.com 4664
%%%~> boot overnetbc.d2g.com 5298
%%%~> boot dvdmag.dns2go.com 10247
%%%~> boot nictuku.kicks-ass.net 4664
%%%~> boot dboy.dnip.net 10861
%%%~> boot 81.91.65.187 8368
%%%~> boot greed.zapto.org 4780
%%%~> boot fudge.punkcookies.com 12000
Even if one address is enough, starting from a larger list of peers using the ovweb command should help building a good list of peers faster.
