kazaa: was bedeutet supernode

What is a Supernode?
Any computer using KaZaA Media Desktop 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. Other KaZaA users in your neighbourhood, will automatically upload to your machine a small list of files they are sharing ,whenever possible using the same Internet Service provider or located in the same region as you.,. When they search they send the search request to you as a Supernode. The actual download will be directly from the computer who is sharing the file, not from you. The download goes from them to the person who wants it, peer-to-peer.
