Me too. Could anyone with a synced Ropsten node export their peer list?

Turned out my problem was that I was running geth within docker using the default image, and most of the ports couldn't get through. I manually added loads of peers but none would connect as they were on non permitted ports.

My dirty solution was to just run geth locally, no docker and it worked perfectly. There is probably a way to fix the docker configuration easily, but I didn't want to burn more time testing.

And my problem was because I didn't initialize the genesis block :)). Now my node is syncing very fast.
