Welcome back one and all
Hello one and all, both new arrivals this year and returning people from last year!
New users to twofo will want to start by downloading the preconfigured DC++ client for twofo from http://www.twofo.co.uk/resources/twofoDC++.exe. This contains a lot of settings which are helpful for twofo on campus as well as the required stunnel program for connecting to the hub. This is for Windows only, mac and linux users (and windows people wanting to learn a bit more) can find connection instructions at the twofo wiki at http://www.twofo.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Connect
Older users may find that DC++ is asking you to upgrade your client. Doing so with the client from the DC++ website is fine, but it will overwrite any of the settings you had before. To keep the settings you already have you need to download the zip file from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dcplusplus/files/DC%2B%2B%200.770/DCPlusPlus-0.770.zip/download. Extract the files and overwrite the ones in your current DC++ directory
Twofo is now into its 6 year running and 5th as the main campus DC++ hub. Any student past or present of the University is welcome to connect or come to the socials later on in the term and year.
It should be said however that using twofo is against the Resnet AUP. ITS have in the past (although a very long time ago now though) disconnected users for being on the hub so you are using the hub at your own risk unfortunately. To minimise this you should try to follow the guides to blocking external connections to DC++ on the wiki.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask on the twofo forums
See you all on the hub!
