Disable Supernode on Skype
As you know, Skype uses a p2p network to exchange data. If you have a sufficiently powerful computer, then Skype may decide to make you a Supernode and, as a result, the Skype traffic of other network participants will go through you.
Starting with version 3.0 of the program, it became possible to disable such a "feature" so that someone else's Skype traffic would not go through you.
To do this, you need to get into the registry and create a branch there: After rebooting the system, the new setting will take effect. For convenience, you can use the .reg file , which itself will add the necessary parameters to the registry. Additional information: 1. Guide for Network Administrator's (.pdf) - a detailed description of this and some other registry settings for Skype.
2. Group Policy Template (.adm) , which allows you to more flexibly configure Skype settings.
