The Ropsten bootnodes of the Eth Foundation are down, can anybody share any other?

Question

Running geth in verbose 5 mode, I get this:

The command I use to start geth is this one:

geth --testnet --rpc --fast --bootnodes "enode://20c9ad97c081d63397d7b685a412227a40e23c8bdc6688c6f37e97cfbc22d2b4d1db1510d8f61e6a8866ad7f0e17c02b14182d37ea7c3c8b9c2683aeb6b733a1@52.169.14.227:30303,enode://6ce05930c72abc632c58e2e4324f7c7ea478cec0ed4fa2528982cf34483094e9cbc9216e7aa349691242576d552a2a56aaeae426c5303ded677ce455ba1acd9d@13.84.180.240:30303"  --verbosity 5

Thanks!

Opening geth attach and adding some peers manually solved the problem for me.
List of peers-
