Thanks!  Glad the 5.7 latest nightly works for you! Hopefully this will fix  
the sporatic crashes that 5.3 saw (which saw fewer crashes than 5.0).

Now that you are able to keep up, can look into validating CRCs (we didn't do  
that before since wasn't sure 5.3 had it working right), and also figure out  
TLS.

At some point may considering getting EN/DE working again (it's stubbed out  
now), but considering the likelhood of someone trying to hack the network is  
low, and FTN never bothered with it, may just leave it out.  If anything, may  
add some way to validate the SHA of the nodelist type files against github (or  
just make a new packet option from @1 that just makes folks download it from  
github or some ohter known location and @1 just sends URLs and SHAs
