The Durham Hub is Back...

Returning to college residence might mean the end of bittorrent, but at least we can have ultra-fast internal file sharing again...

The Durham Hub is safe, secure, fast internal file sharing on the internal ESOL Durham University Network. It allows you to share copyright-free (obviously?) files from your computer and download files other people are sharing.

To get going on the system....

1. Download your DC++ Client ...
   1. (Windows Users) Download the DC++ client program from Sourceforge
   2. (Mac Users) Try the Mac DC++ program also on Sourceforge
   3. (Linux Users) There's details of a Linux Port of DC++ here
2. Install it, follow all the default options.
3. Run DC++, File -> Quick Connect, enter hub.r9paul.org as the address *
4. Share some files of your own, File -> Settings -> Sharing
5. Done! Double click on a username to browse their shared files or use the search tool.

We'll aim for 24/7 availability during term time but note this might not always be possible, service updates will be posted on twitter with hashtag #durhub.

Any major problems get in touch

* this will only resolve on the internal network, you cannot connect to the hub from outside of the Durham Network.
