Downloads
-chose where your downloads end up by filling in the download directory (or browse for a location)

Sharing
-Select the files and folders you wish to share (must total more than the required amount, currently 3 GB). (The files may take a while to hash, just wait)-Set the upload slots to above the required amount (currently 2)-Refer to “rules” for what is unacceptable too share.

-set DC++ to connect to the unishub
-Click on Favorite Hubs (from either the view tab, or click on the gold star)
-Click New

Anonymous said...

i did all that... now it says it cannot connect bc of "max 2 min 0 slot message" what does that mean?

New hub URL for 2008/2009:

'theotherunishub.thruhere.net'

Use this instead of 'UNISHUB.DNSALIAS.COM' in the guide above

Anonymous said...

It tells me that the target machine is actively rufusing me. Is this my doing or is the hub not working?

Anonymous said...

Guys, can't get the new hub address to work... any ideas

Anonymous said...

the old one still works. just use that

When I go to use fast connect and place unishub it responds:
[08:32] *** Connecting to unishub...
[08:32] *** The requested address is not valid in its context.

What's wrong? I have firewall enabled.. Is this a problem?

is it possible to connect in the library?

Is there a reason why since christmas neither Hub URL has worked?

Anonymous said...

Guys if u know, the hub is down?
because i cant connect for 2-3 days

*** A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

The hub is down/not responding, when will it be back?

Anonymous said...

Yeah, when???????

I just got the message saying my min upload isn't high enough and that the minimum share is 4 gig, has the minimum upload changed?

Anonymous said...

Yes, it's now 4GB as it tells you.

Anyone know how to re-set-up the unishub.dnsalias.com again? I have the Ptokax server software and 1 un-used PC. I can set-up a server, but it is only can be accessed from my LAN only but not from the entire ResNet. This is a good way to share files between us. Anyone know, please reply here.

memey said...

.... or maybe there is other server inside our university that I do not know. Anyone care to share?

Hi, is there a new hub address for 2009/2010? Thanks

Anonymous said...

if i brght my laptop to ap labs connected it wirelessly, can i connect to dc++ and use it??

has anyone tested this?

Anonymous said...

what is the latest address for 2010/2011?

Martin Lewis said...

I'm Mac based and have installed ShakesPeer.

When I try and connect to to a hub it asks for an address and a password. What should I put for the password. (my username is unique and does not cause the problem.)

Thanks!

Shareza said...

UNISHUB.BOUNCEME.NET

Is DC++ still working? UNISHUB.BOUNCEME.NET no longer works.

Anonymous said...

bounceme works if you put adcs:// at the beginning and port number :1511 at the end

Anonymous said...

are we still using shakespeer for mac?

Anonymous said...

To anyone trying to connect to DC++ on campus:

Follow the setup guide, but replace the address:

UNISHUB.DNSALIAS.COM

with:

adcs://unishub.bounceme.net:1511

Anonymous said...

adcs://unishub.bounceme.net:1511

Does not work. 'I get invalid port in hub address' error. Anyone actually managed to get it working this year?

Mine works using adcs://unishub.bounceme.net:1511

Anonymous said...

mines connected to unishub.dontexist.com

but what next?

Anonymous said...

The 'unishub.dontexist.com' doesn't seem to have any users, nor be working - where did you get that address from?

The 'adcs://unishub.bounceme.net:1511' is running fine with quite a few users.

Isn't this hub external to resnet though (it says it is based in Russia), and was setup for the summer vacation.

Do we have an internal hub yet??

Anonymous said...

first time user of dc++ here

followed instructions here using ApexDC++ and using adcs://unishub.bounceme.net:1511 and no problems for me so far

big shout out to all responsible

Hey,

Anonymous said...

Hi everyone. I had "You have been kicked". Why? Cheers

Anonymous said...

What address are we using this year?

Am connected to 'adcs://unishub.bounceme.net:1511' fine but there's no other users.

Are we still using this address? Or maybe I'm just a bit early lol!

Anonymous said...

Anyone knows what is the hub name for 2012/13, please?

Anonymous said...

2012 address anyone?????

Anonymous said...

Is there a working server yet? If not, I can probably set one up, but it'll take a bit of time as I only just moved in today.

Anonymous said...

go for it mate!

Anonymous said...

Ok, new address is

adcs://unishub.no-ip.org:2780

This might not work with DC++, so

on Windows, you should use ApexDC++ http://www.apexdc.net/

on Linux/OSX, the best option seems to be EiskaltDC++ http://code.google.com/p/eiskaltdc/downloads/list

that hub worked for me but has no one on it!! common ppl join! sharing is caring

So what is the hub: "Pitch Black the chronicles of riddick (unishub.dontexist.com) ??

Done some research and it seems Peer to peer sharing is banned on ResNet (DC++)

This is why:

I'm not having any luck signing in this year, connection timeout with both DC++ and Apex. Also tried port forwarding my firewall but no luck.

Anonymous said...

Same issue, I can log in, but connection timeout when trying to connect to other users.

Anonymous said...

Same problem for me - can log in fine but can't connect to anyone and just times out.
Have tried DC++ and the Apex client and same problem with both.
I haven't altered my connection settings at all to previously, and had not problems with the hub last year, or this very same hub the year before. As everyone else is having the same issue, I guess it must be a problem with the hub itself???

Anonymous said...

there's no one on the hub?!

Anonymous said...

No one's on it because, sadly, this year it doesn't work...no one can connect to each other (as per the 3 previous posts) so people have given up and don't bother logging-on to it anymore(not sure if it is a hub setup issue, or a resnet change that has stopped it working).

Shame, as it used to be really busy in previous years - I guess there isn't anyone around this year with both the technical know-how and interest to make it work :-(

we need to get DC back up an running

Anonymous said...

I whole heartedly agree (see my post of 25 November 2013 14:35)...it was really busy and lots of stuff shared, but this academic year the usual hub just wouldn't accept connections so people gave up.

It needs someone with the IT know-how to set up a hub...I'd happily host one but don't have the know-how - have looked into it but it went over my head a bit (unless there's an idiots guide out there?)

It's up again
