Urgent: Everyone Switch On Supernode Setting!

[Switeck]

Firstly, not EVERYONE should turn on the supernode function.

Only those with at least 4 KB/sec upload to spare and probably 20+ KB/sec download to spare (not that that's a problem if you can't find files to download...)

We need GOOD supernodes, not ones that overload when 100+ connections are made to it per second!

Do NOT turn on become a supernode if on Win 95, 98, 98SE, or ME! They are not designed to handle more than 100 connections at once, the MINIMUM for an ok supernode. (Let alone a GOOD one which might have 200+ nodes connected to it&#33

ALSO, get an updated anti-RIAA blocklist and turn on RIAA blocking. THEN, everyone who's connected as a node to you will be safer from the RIAA even if they themselves are NOT blocking RIAA's ips!

Hey, if someone's using KMD insteak of KLK++, and they know about KLK++, to me that suggests an intelligence deficit.

Therefore, I believe we should tell as many people as we can about KLK++. I've turned a half dozen or so people. They saw KLK++ on scam sites and didn't want to pay for the better one. So they just used KMD. But I game them the site address, and they got KLK++ for free, and are now very happy with it.

That's what we should be doing. If Sharman is going to cut off the KLK++ users, we should have a tool, that cancels transfers to ANYONE with a network name of @Kazaa. The KLK++ default is something else, but I change it. Mine is 247DSLFileServer. As long as it's ot @Kazaa, we share.

Push does come to shove people. When Sharman was cool, we were cool. If Sharman wants to push, we push back. It's clear Sharman is no different from the RIAA. They want to end free file sharing. Or did you not hear that they're trying to go legit, which is why they're going after KLK++ now. Apparently they can't go legit, with a significant amount of people using KLK++. Don't let them profit off your loss.

I missed this. Sorry for the double post.

I can definitely turn on supernode, and I fit the requirements you state. 1.5MBit/128K ADSL, Windows XP Pro, latest build (Sp1a + Ru1).

Now, how do I update my IP blocker? Last I checked, it was down. I'd certainly be interested in keeping that up to date, especially if it helped others as well as myself.

A question I just thought of. If KMD blocks KLK++ nodes, what does that mean for us? No communication either way, or just we can't download from them? Will the latest KMD prevent KMD users from downloading from KLK++ users or just the other way around?

MOST likely, KMD will maintain backwards-compatibility with earlier versions of KMD for quite some time. KMD v2.6 will download JUST FINE from earlier versions, but earlier versions may not be able to download from KMD v2.6 ok.

They may have changed their PL scheme as well, so everything before always gets a PL=0... so then EARLIER versions COULD download from KMD v2.6 -- but they will always be kicked off in favor of KMD v2.6 users.

how do you turn on the supernode anyway?

Hi all
let me first state kazaa lite/k++ ROCKS
kazaa sucks, spyware/adware errrr..

i have k++ 2.4.3 but when i turn on supernorde
its kills my kazaa lite connection, it will never connect untill i uncheck the supernode option. not sure why, ??
winXP
linksys DSL router
maybe open a port on the router
and yes i can still download all i want from kazaa lite

Same here.

When I turn on Supernode, I see only 1 user online; me.
I have seen another discussion that suggests jumping supernodes a few times before turning on the Supernode switch but that didn't help anything.

Does anyone know what the solution to this is?

By "switch on your supernode setting" do you mean FORCE supernode?
