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!
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!
