I've tried using those instructions on the "How to connect section" but am obviously a bit rubbish at this stuff!

In truth I can't work out how to create a bookmark but if I did then would i know how to tick the secure socket layer option?

Can someone give me really straight forward dummy guide to getting the hub up and running on a Mac? I have lots of good stuff to share so will make lots of slots avaliable to say thanks :)

I don't have a Mac, but can tell you how to make the bookmark in Valknut.

1. Open the hub list (Action menu -> Hub list), if it's not already open

2. Click the "Bookmarks" tab

3. Right click anywhere in the bookmarks list and choose "Add" to bring up the add bookmark dialog

4. Put "hub.twofo.co.uk:4146" in the "Host" box

5. Tick the box next to "Profile", so that the Profile button gets enabled

6. Press the Profile button. The dialog gets bigger, and a "Secure Socket Layer" checkbox appears

7. Tick the "Secure Socket Layer" box.

You may not like Valknut's user interface, it isn't designed for Macs. You might prefer ShakesPeer instead (but would then need to setup stunnel).
