Hello ARCH community, new holder here

!!! This is some project the dev team has mixed up over here.... Bravo!! Wish I'd been on this a little earlier, but glad to be on board now!!
I downloaded the WIN wallet, V1.2 from the OP and had it create a .conf for me, but I'm unable to get any connections. Tried closing and re-opening the wallet a few times with no success. Does it normally take awhile to connect? I just have the wallet open, waiting for peers at the moment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
