My last SVN commit included an overhaul of the code that selects the order of addresses to connect to, trying them in the order of most recently seen online, so it should get connected in a more reasonable amount of time if IRC is unavailable. IRC is really only needed to seed the first connection, but we've been using it as a crutch to get connected faster. That would be great. It's only TOR users that need it, so in the instructions saying "bitcoin -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -addnode=<someip>", someip could be an actual static IP, with the wiki free-for-all add-your-ip list nearby or a link to it. There should be a link to that optional step, add your IP to this list now that you can accept incoming if you're static. Do you think anonymous people are looking to be completely stealth, as in never connect once without TOR so nobody knows they use bitcoin, or just want to switch to TOR before doing any transactions? It's just if you want to be completely stealth that you'd have to go through the -proxy -addnode manual seeding. It would be very easy to fumble that up; if you run bitcoin normally to begin with it immediately automatically starts connecting.
