Well, the routing table is now up to 377 known freenet 0.5 nodes and still climbing. My open connections are also right where I expect them to be:
http://127.0.0.1:8888/servlet/nodeinfo/networking/ocm
Connections open (Inbound/Outbound/Limit) 129 (79/50/2000)

It's now about 34 hours since I deleted the freenet 0.5 routing tables and started fresh with one single node ref to start with. My open connections are at the level that I'm used to seeing them:
