Due to the network changes at the last weekend, the steam cache is available for members at Hochschulstraße as well now.

Once you have enabled the service in your usersuite, your downloads from Steam will be redirected to our cache. With that you reduce bandwith usage on our uplink to the university and improve the quality of services in our network.

We're going to perform changes in the network infrastructure of our dormitories Hochschulstraße 46 and 48 on the 19th of May 2018 between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm. During this period connectivity issues and outages are to be expected. After that, we can provide services there that have been available in other buildings for quite some time. We try to keep the outages as short as possible. The international guesthouse (Hochschulstraße 50) is not affected.

Those who are interested are invited to visit us in our office (basement of Hochschulstraße 46) during the operation.
