    because if the seednodes are offline then the whole network goes down

    This is false. You can join and bootstrap off of any given peer that is already in the network. It will take longer to initially populate the orderbook and trade history since it comes from other peers piece by piece but otherwise you can use it completely fine.

      I hope this is the case now, because I know in earlier versions when the seednodes went down and I restarted my app it would not connect even though I had previously been connected to many peers.

        It was always the case but you have to manually provide the address of a peer. You could open an issue on github to save a list of known peers locally.
