From what I can see, we're back to the position we were in a week or two ago. You can connect, but it is likely to take many attempts to get the connection request through the traffic shaper, which has DC (and other p2p) on a very low priority. Once connected however, everything works as it should.
So you just need to be patient and allow your client time to connect.

are you sure they've not blocked it all together....as the acceptable use policy on the resnet page (here)
I'm sure that it didnt say that in the printed one I got on my desk in my room. Maybe they changed the policy?"The following uses of the service are unacceptable and may result in disciplinary measures being taken
......
* Using Peer to Peer file sharing applications (e.g. Bittorrent, Kazaa, Gnutella, DC++)
....
Minor breaches of this policy will be handed under the regulations concerning minor disciplinary offences (regulation 24 subsection 6 and 7). These can result in a fine of up to £100.
More serious breaches (such as a major breach of confidentially, harassment, or illegal activities) or repeated minor breaches may lead to action under the Major Offences procedure (regulation 24 subsections 8 and 9). In serious cases legal action may also be taken.
The University will co-operate fully with the police and other law enforcement agencies in any criminal investigations.

panmaster - you are a true thorough bred retard, bred from the finest purest retards, who themselves come from a long line of pure retards.
one could say you are the purest of the retards.... King... no, God of retards!
.... DC++ has been working 24/7 for 4 days and the server itself for a week. Just stop saying random crap and think before you write anything... it might help...
I did actually re-read my post, thinking "is it too harsh? too insensitive?" but then i looked at what u've posted... and nah... i stand by my statement (or in this case, insults).[/img]

Look spamming the twofo forums certainly isnt gonna get u connected quicker!! With the traffic shaper in place it could take a couple days or weeks to get connected.. it all depends on the rest of the network and whether ppl are using the connection for somethin else!! Otherwise ITS might have blocked it.. but guess wat! NONE OF THE OFF-CAMPUS PPL WILL BE ABLE TO TELL U!! (hint: ITS are the only ones that know for sure!)
Also with the AUP - no it certainly did not say it!! I remember commenting on the fact that DC++ was not mentioned!! I reckon we just make everyone switch to DC server and clients.. Wonder whether they'll go change it to Direct Connect apps!! lol
ITS if u're reading this!! Stop wasting ur time blocked DC++ and fix the Resnet instead!!
