Collaborations never finish

[gimmanyq]

I don't know if this is a bug or not. Recently, I have noticed that anytime I run a collaboration that they just never finish. I don't know if there are any suggestions for this. There doesn't seem to be any noticeable errors . Looking for some guidance here.

Hey @gimmanyq - have you made any adaptions to the directory nodes configuration?
Default directory nodes are currently under high load and seem to be defunct occasionally.
Next release of the standalone distribution will adapt the default values and should be a little bit more reliable.
