I do not get why - in F2F mode - you are doing that. What is the content of friends.txt?

Can you please elaborate more on your use case.

I must admit, that I never tried out the F2F mode.

"In the pure "friend-to-friend" mode, your peer will ONLY connect to peers from a list of friends specified in the configuration." [1]

In pure F2F mode the hostlist server does not matter. Also the peerstore does not. Only your friends.txt file. At least that's what I read from documentation.
