what does forcign supernode do? how does it help us?
The fasttrack p2p network requires supernodes to function. Supernodes are hub servers that people can host on a regular computer with a decent internet connection in which peers connect to, where they search for files via sending a request to the supernode then the supernode searches for that file from the peers connected to it and other supernodes that service other peers. File transfers are purely p2p.
Sharman's programming department obviously thought that k lite could not become supernodes. But... THEY'RE WRONG! Klite clients by default have the supernode option turned off, but can become supernodes by clicking on one of the options off one of the sub-option menus.
So, to sum it up, K lite can exist provided that enough people from the KL community become supernodes, therefore forming a sub-network on the fast track network. And... since the majority of the quality files are shared by people who used KL, the quality of our files will become substantially higher than that of regular KMD, causing the population of KMD users to drop and KL users to soar!
edit: added a lot of stuff
