Extremely slow DAG requests (using from a Go App)

Hello!

I must be doing something wrong, however when I run two nodes from the same computer using this code: https://gist.github.com/tobowers/3075165832bd7396e12a36d1ef69708e

(one putting, one getting)… the GET will almost always timeout in 60seconds (though it sometimes works).

Am I doing something wrong? It does say that it found peers, often 4-9 peers but the actual GET fails.
