Getting onto the network

Ever since I am a Freenet user, nearly 2 years, it has been hell getting 
onto the network.

The best way to connect to strangers seems to be: delete all temp 
folders and all that has numbers in its name in the freenet folder, 
including nodedb4o.
Then start FN and do lots of signs of the cross, prayers, dancing naked 
in the moonlight around the fire. Patience, patience, restart FN every 
hour and perhaps, perhaps....

Often it needs deleting freenet.ini and going through the first time 
wizard and reconfigure. But also then it can take hours until the node 
finally, finally gets accepted by its first peer.

Line repeated ad infinitum.

Could there be some way to issue renewed seednodes requests, other than 
restart FN time and again?
Now FN just sits there repeating its log line while doing nothing else 
as it seems.
