As far as I > know, there is no way to tell Skype that you don't want to be a supernode. I have 1.5Mbps and 128 kbps. So it's not likely that I will become super node. But from the salman link you sent me, it's possible to block it and don't become super node. Here is the answer to that question; Q: I have a lot of bw and a public IP address. My Skype client becomes a SN. How can I prevent it? Use any network monitoring tool. I recommend net-peeker. Use it to set the upload and download bandwidth to 100 bytes/s. Make sure to check 'Also appply to UDP sessions'. Most likely your node will not become a super node i.e. it will not route calls. However, it will still receive UDP and TCP traffic from other Skype clients. And another question mentioned there: Q: I logged off but did not close my Skype client. Are all TCP and UDP connections closed? No, they are not. You must completely shut down your Skype application. Perhaps it is a bug, or perhaps it is purposely done. Mainly I look for anomalies with skype. When I talk with my friends here they barely hear me. At some point, I hear noises. I guess this is a bandwitdh problem or who knows what isp/hot infrastructure do. > ================================================================= > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
