Congratulations on getting I2P installed!
+
+
+Welcome to I2P!
+Please have patience as I2P boots up and finds peers.
+
+
+While you are waiting, please adjust your bandwidth settings on the
+configuration page.
+
+
+If you can, open up port 8887 on your firewall, then enable inbound TCP on the
+configuration page.
+
+
+Once you have a "shared clients" destination listed on the left,
+please check out our
+FAQ.
+
+
+Point your IRC client to localhost:6668 and say hi to us on #i2p.
