Make Being A Supernode Default Setting.

[Ariel_001]

We must make the Kazaa lite installer set Being a Supernode a default setting. Maybe we can be a network on our own and because mostly computer savvy people are using K- Lite we will have better quality files.
*update*
Sorry that not what i meant.
I meant to have "Do not function as a SuperNode" box uncheck by default


we must save Kazaa lite. everybody share it. mirror it somewere.

I totally agree. I posted a similar idea a while back. I think the problem is you never know when a supernode will go offline.

i wouldn t want to do that because do you really want a person on dial up being your supernode :blink:

From FAQ:
(...)Any computer using Kazaa (Lite) can become a Supernode if they have a modern computer and are accessing the Internet with a broadband connection. Being a Supernode does not affect your performance noticeably.

The only way to do this efficiently is to make a program that connects to some central server (or GWebCaches), automatically chooses which K-Lite users are able to become supernodes, force the K++ client to be a supernode, then send the IP address to the webcache for other users to find and connect.

There is no central server in kazaa, and if im not mistaking, being a supernode is the default setting.

I agree with this, i can easyly make an installer that changes the registry to make everyone a supernode. If a 56k user became a supernode it would slow everything down.

We just need to past the word around that broadband users need to become supernodes to save kazaa lite.

Even if you force a supernode on an unsuitable machine the rest of the network will reject it, so this isn&#39;t a problem.

There&#39;s inbuilt criteria on supernodes to make sure they are suitable, those on dialup will never be able to be supernodes.

Sheesh... read his :angry: post&#33;
It clearly says that 56k&#39;ers dont become SN&#39;s&#33; And if a 56k&#39;er fucks up cos he cant read Agent Smiths post saying "56k&#39;ers DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS" (a future post for that installer :lol: ) deserves what they get.

Maybe it&#39;s a stupid idea, but what about making a standalon supernode prg. and an installer, which set it as screensaver (or run in the back&#39; when computer is idle) I think it would be a great idea...

Where can I download a standalone supernode prg? (without client) (are there any?)

Nope. It&#39;s set by default to not be a supernode.

[FTFakes]

Don&#39;t forget the router users. If you force them to be a supernode they will have the &#39;1 users online&#39; problem and can&#39;t connect to any other supernode&#33;
