Cap nAttempts penalty at 8 and switch to pow instead of a division loop.

On hosts that had spent some time with a failed internet connection their
 nAttempts penalty was going through the roof (e.g. thousands for all peers)
 and as a result the connect search was pegging the CPU and failing to get
 more than a 4 connections after days of running (because it was taking so
 long per try).
