Welcome back one and all
Welcome back to those of you returning to warwick for another year, and to the freshers among you, hello! We look forward to seeing some or all of you on the hub over the coming year.

Anybody entirely new to twofo will want to stat by downloading the twofo preconfigured DC++ client from http://www.twofo.co.uk/resources/twofoDC++.exe. This is just the normal DC++ client with a few settings already set to make life on campus easier, and with the address for twofo already saved. Simply download the .exe file, run it and it will extract DC++, along with stunnel and a page detailing what you need to do.
If you are using a Mac or Linux, then there is no preconfigured client I am afraid. However, there are detailed instructions on setting up clients for your systems on the twofo wiki at http://www.twofo.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Connect

If anybody is returning to campus with an old DC++ install and wants to update their version of DC to the latest (if only to stop it nagging you) then you can download the update zip file from DC++ v0.801 zip . Extract the files in the zip archive and overwrite the files in your current DC++ directory. If you get the installer from the DC++ website you may end up losing all your current settings and having to rehash everything.
If anybody has any issues at all, you are welcome to join the twofo forums if you are unable to get onto the hub in the first place, or if you can connect simply come on and ask. There is of course always the wiki for help with more common issues as well.
Happy sharing
