Systematically Forcing Kl++ Out Of Network

KL 2.10 has an option to set the version number in the registry. Just set that to 260. I don't think that option is in newer versions, you'll have to ask random nut.

random nut is this possible?

the developers of Kazaa Lite helped Sharman out tremendously by disabling the supernode function. Very few users who run this client are acting as supernodes.

Maybe we have to release a version of K++ set for acting as a supernode.

Only a SMALL number of people need to be supernodes to maintain the network. It may only need to be 1 out of 100, because supernodes maintain 100+ nodes each.

We want GOOD supernodes, because as the case proves for the last few months...
BAD supernodes are hard on EVERYONE!

I think it was probably a bad move to always disable becoming a supernode by default -- it may have been 1 thing that forced Kazaa's hand, because the kinds of search traffic KL++ can generate with ASM enabled can be intense. If KL++ never (or only very seldom) becomes a supernode, it's a PURE LEECH as far as the network traffic is concerned.

Supernodes may be burning as much as 50 KB/sec down and 20 KB/sec up from all the network traffic. It's probably about 10 KB/sec down and 5 KB/sec up on average -- which is about as much as a low-end broadband connection can sustain constantly. (Note: SUSTAIN CONSTANTLY is something entirely different than peak bandwidth which is what the connection is rated for. A connection may be able to download at 300 KB/sec peak but only sustain ~50 KB/sec over the course of a day.)

Stupid f ing spoiled Sharman...instead of worrieing about the truely bad things going around such as *i.e. child porn* all they care about it their money. Same goes for the RIAA...damn I'm unbelivebly pissed right now...So does this mean the end of K-Lite K++...?

[abu_has_the_power]

damn sharman netowrks. but then again, without them, we'd have no klite. so i'm not totally flipping out at them.

One of the articals I think said like 4 -6 weeks, anyone with a prior version of 255
would not be able to access their supernodes. Of course any klite user functioning as a supernode we will still be able to access files.

One alternative: click this

Ive had supernode on for a couple of hours 2day and yesterday, but the thing is i only have 128kb/s upload, and being supernode maxes out my uploads at like 70kb/s constantly.

So ill probably turn it off soon cause people are trying to download and they are gettin only like 5kb/s.

Well I have force SN on, and I saw the normal "1 user online" shit....

Arent SNs allowed to search? It appeared to be searching MY OWN files only, and if I had the file I wanted, why the hell would I try to search in kazaa....
So can ppl tell me if there is some trick to letting SN search?
