Thread: Make Being A Supernode Default Setting.

  1. #1
    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.

    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 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 ) 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?)
