Well, it definitely works, but now I'm trying to figure out what indicates whether I'm going to have a good connection or not.
I've had nodes at two hops that load incredibly fast. I've had nodes at ...
I have noticed this too, even on other clients, but it does seem to happen more frequently with Columba.
It seems related to path request. If you have heard a node announce since you started the app, and the node is still online, it always works from my experience. If you haven't heard an announce from that node, Columba requests a path to the node from the network
The response for the path request has been inconsistent for me during development and I wasn't sure if it was a network issue on my end. But since it's happening to you too, well, I guess I have more debugging to do ;)
