Well this is odd. Not just unable to connect, I don't even get and messages in the window. Nothing at all. Is this all across campus? Anyone got any alternate methods of getting on?

Yeah I have. It's not that it gives me a 'connected' or 'not connected' screen - literally nothing comes up.

Does it say connecting to ...? If not, it could be problem with dc itself, try re-installing

Pretty sure that's not it. I've tried a few different versions of DC++, and SOCKS5 connections. Occasionally it tells me 'connected', but no users or messages - in short, it's not actually connected. Fuck. How have they gone about that?

just noticed on the resnet page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/its/ ... icies/aup/) that dc++ is on the list of banned p2p programs.

Yea, since about 7pm on friday night it has been impossible to connect from campus.

Has anyone else noticed this, or maybe it is just one or 2 of the residences for some reason.

Campus people please respond, it would be very interesting if anyone could still connect

For the ppl that cannot connect how is ur internet connection otherwise?? I mean is HTTP also really slow or does it seem to be a DC related problem only??

It's basicaly DC++ thats been blocked on campus (for a lot of areas if not all) internet is fine (well as ITS standards go anyway)

I'm in JM4 and I haven't been able to connect to DC++ and since it's been blocked my internet access has been really shoddy and quite slow...reminded me of my old dial-up days when connecting to MSN was a lottery not a certainty *wanders away in a fit of nostalgia*

well to be honest it sounds like DC++ hasnt gotten blocked.. rather the speeds are generally low for u.. since DC has the lowest priority it simply seems blocked as all bandwidth is being used to provide u with the "shabby" web access.. so I reckon either that subnet is one of the totally screwed ones that ITS have decided to lower bandwidth for.. or its maybe a more major problem with ITS bandwidth. They may be fixing/testing something, since we wouldnt kno as they're not exactly informative..

So I guess I think hang in there.. It might improve next week.. who knows..
