Some quick ideas for what could go here:
- twofo to do list
- Example complaints letters to write to ITS
- "Argh! I've been fined" - what to do next
- Mugshot gallery - See http://www.indivisibilities.com/gallery/main.php User name & Password are both "twofo"
- Stunnel For Windows
From on campus, even with the traffic shaper, you can connect to twofo using a program called stunnel.
I have put together a rar file with all the necessary files need for this, which can be downloaded from http://manyhappy.members.beeb.net/stunnel.rar Just extract the files. Then run the stunnel.exe. Once the icon is in the tray, just set DC++ to connect to localhost:9000 and it takes you straight onto twofo. This has worked fine with the people who have tested it so far. You can of course download stunnel yourself from http://www.stunnel.org/ , but you would have to configure it yourself to connect to twofo.kicks-ass.net:4146
YOU WILL HAVE TO BE IN ACTIVE MODE (on the latest versions of DC++, this is called "Direct Connection") AND HAVE THE CORRECT IP IN DC++ IN ORDER TO SEARCH AND DOWNLOAD. You can find your IP at http://checkip.dyndns.org/ You should not be using the socks5 address boxes in any way. Many people have been finding that they cannot download due the the presence of a firewall, often the Windows firewall, blocking DC++. There is a guide to allowing DC in the windows firewall int he help section of this wiki. For other firewalls, I suggest you consilt the help guides that come with them or google for the answers.

- Stunnel For Linux (As requested By Echelon!)
If you use Valknut you can simply add a Bookmark to your Hub List for twofo - Address: twofo.kicks-ass.net:4146 and then under 'Profile' make sure you've ticked the 'Secure Socket Layer' (SSL) box.
If you use another Direct Connect client such as LinuxDC or DC++ under WINE, you will need to install Stunnel. You can get Stunnel from http://www.stunnel.org/ or your package manager/repositories depending on your distro. Once installed add the following lines to /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf under 'Service-level configuration'
[twofo]
connect = twofo.kicks-ass.net:4146
accept = 127.0.0.1:8000
(You can pick any high numbered port you like instead of 8000)
Next open a root terminal and type the command:
stunnel -d twofo -c -d localhost:8000 -r twofo.kicks-ass.net:4146
Finally, open your Direct Connect client and connect to 'localhost:8000'

"Just briefly, I myself used DC++ and Bittorrent excessively at the beginning of this term, and my internet was disconnected. Tried various network cables, other people's machines etc, I was pretty sure I was banned. So, being cowardly as I am, I just ignored it, connected to a wireless network someone had in the flat, and went on with my life. After a month I finally rang up, and they said I wasn't on their list. They send a guy round to have a look, he sorts it out, my internet's back and I haven't been fined. Upon enquiry the guy just said it was probably caused by a ban, but there's no record of it on the system now, so just be careful. So whilst I can't confirm that I was banned and would have been fined, I just figured I'd contribute. Move this wherever or delete if you like." - RockLoi.
Feel free to edit these pages (including this one!). if you muck things up, we can always revert back to the previous version. This is a MediaWiki, so look this up for information on how to do funky stuff with the text and graphics.
