Supernode in Skype, yes or no?

 Have long noticed that sometimes I have Skype starts to eat memory and bandwidth. Even figured out why: the regime Supernode. But on his hands did not reach. Today when the world had a Skype-collapse has decided to explore this topic in detail.
As we know Skype uses a distributed infrastructure, and for that some of the nodes (running instances of programs) can operate in Supernode. In this mode, through your Skype traffic passes other users.
To work in Skype mode Supernode necessary to satisfy the following conditions:

   
1. Direct access to the internet (no NAT, SOCKS, HTTPS).
   
2. In the firewall should allow incoming connections from the network.
   
3. Your channel of more than 140 kbps.
If you have fulfilled the above conditions, your computer may become a Supernode.
For example, I do not really want it, because besides the things I use and the mobile Internet in which pomegabaytnaya payment, and before I was just trying to at least include Skype.
But it turns out has long been known for a way to force disable this mode. To do this, just simply enough to change the registry Windows.


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Skype]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Skype\Phone]
"DisableSupernode"=dword:00000001
