Appreciate the detailed write up! Chains more resilient than ever!
I'd P2P synced one of my nodes on .7 and it took me somewhere between 15 and 16 hours, which is quicker than what it'd take me to download the files from you :) I prefer the distributed way to get the blocks over a centralized source too!
My personal favorite part of .7 was the IPv6 support added to P2P(though technically it came in one of the earlier releases). Hoping more nodes take advantage of this! Next weekend I'm going to encode bee:ab0:de:5eed into the ips of my seed nodes.
