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"
From on campus, even with the traffic shaper, you can connect to twofo using a program called stunnel.
Instructions: Download: http://manyhappy.members.beeb.net/stunnel.rar EXTRACT ALL FILES
Run: stunnel.exe Once the icon is in the tray.
Set DC++ via "quick connect" to localhost:9000
PLEASE NOTE: If you download STUNNEL yourself you have a different "config file" in order to get STUNNEL to connect to DC++ please switch the config file with the following information. (Not recommended) (save as stunnel.conf and place in STUNNEL directory and restart STUNNEL.
===============================
- Sample stunnel configuration file by Michal Trojnara 2002-2006
- Some options used here may not be adequate for your particular configuration
- Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode
- The default certificate is provided only for testing and should not
- be used in a production environment
cert = stunnel.pem
- key = stunnel.pem
- Some performance tunings
socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1
- Workaround for Eudora bug
- options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
- Authentication stuff
- verify = 2
- Don't forget to c_rehash CApath
- CApath = certs
- It's often easier to use CAfile
- CAfile = certs.pem
- Don't forget to c_rehash CRLpath
- CRLpath = crls
- Alternatively you can use CRLfile
- CRLfile = crls.pem
- Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting
- debug = 7
- output = stunnel.log
- Use it for client mode
client = yes
[twofo] connect = twofo.kicks-ass.net:4146 accept = 127.0.0.1:9000
- Service-level configuration
- [pop3s]
- accept = 995
- connect = 110
- [imaps]
- accept = 993
- connect = 143
- [ssmtp]
- accept = 465
- connect = 25
- [https]
- accept = 443
- connect = 80
- TIMEOUTclose = 0
- vim
- ft=dosini
=====================================
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.

"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.
