KaZuperNodes SuperList:


What is the KaZuperNodes SuperList?

Most people have this problem: You choose a supernode and connect to it. But after a while Kazaa jumps to another Supernode. Example: You live in Europe and connect to a US Supernode and leave Kazaa running over night. When you come back next morning you find that Kazaa is connected to a Supernode in your own Country.

The KaZuperNodes SuperList can avoid this now and give you even more options to stay on the Supernodes you want!


How is it working?

KZN checks your current connection every 60 seconds (customizable). If Kazaa is not connected to a Supernode that you have chosen by one of the options, KZN will reconnect you automatically to one of those.


The Options:

'use all Supernodes'
All Supernodes of the list are accepted by KZN. KZN reconnects you to one of those if Kazaa is connected to one that is not in the list.

'use the topmost Supernode that is online'
KZN will only accept the topmost Supernode of the list that is online

'try to stay in the same country'
KZN accepts all supernodes from the list and all supernodes from the same country that are not in the list

'connect to this IP/DNS'
This is some kind of 'follow mode'. You can type in a IP or a DNS name of either a Supernode or a client here. KZN will alwas try to connect to that Supernode or to the Supernode of that client.

'check status before jumping'
You should always use this option to ensure that Kazaa tries not to connect to a Supernode that is offline or not responding. This way the SuperList is always checked if KZN have to reconnet to a SuperNode of the list. 'use the topmost Supernode that is online' and 'connect to this IP/DNS' will always use this option.


What is the 'Connect to one of these SN's' button for?

The 'Connect to one of these SN's' button does exactly what it says ;-)

It will connect your Kazaa to one of the Supernodes in your SuperList. Kazaa will chosse the first responding one.



KZN Settings:



It's higly recommended that you use the 'Switch to this Kazaa window after supernode hopping' setting and choose 'traffic' if you use any dowload accelarators like Kazap or SpeedUp !!!
Most of these accelarators only work properly if the traffic window is displayed in Kazaa.

56k modem users should set 'Number of Supernodes that are checked at at time' to 5 or less to get better status checking results.


The other settings should be self-explaining ;-)

Panic Button:




Sometimes Kazaa isn't able to connect anymore, if you tried to connect to a non working SN.
This new button will connect you to the Fasttrack network again.

 



Soft Jump:

I added a new method for supernode jumping which I call 'soft jump'. Unlike the 'Jump SuperNode' function of Kazaa Lite and the 'normal' Supernode jumping functions of KZN the soft jump method does NOT interrupt your current up- and downloads! Usually jumping supernodes is forced by disconnect Kazaa and connect it again, which stops the current up- and downloads and then resumes them. This can cause a download to change it's status from 'Downloading' to 'Remotely queued'.

How to do a soft jump in KZN:

You have to use a normal (hard) jump to another supernode to repair the connection if Kazaa fails to connect (it says 'connecting...' all the time) after doing a soft jump.

New Language System:

I received many e-mails from people who offered me to translate KZN into their own language. This was always a problem, because the souce code of KZN had to be changed to include new languages. Now everyone can translate it to almost any language.

Just edit the included 'translateme.lng' file with any text editor like Notepad, restart KZN and you'll see the result immediately!

You only have to follow some easy rules to create your own language file:

- Don't change the line numbers
- Each string must start and end with a quotation mark. Don't use additional quotation marks within a string. Use apostrophes instead:
wrong: 204,"Please wait a few seconds and try again or use the "set new SN and restart Kazaa" button"
right: 204,"Please wait a few seconds and try again or use the 'set new SN and restart Kazaa' button"
- You can add comments at the end of each line by adding a blank, a number sign (#), another blank and then the comment:
wrong: 204,"Please wait a few seconds and try again or use the 'set new SN and restart Kazaa' button"#I was too lazy to translate this!
right: 204,"Please wait a few seconds and try again or use the 'set new SN and restart Kazaa' button" # I was too lazy to translate this!

Send me your language file and I will offer it for download or include it in future versions of KZN! Thanks.
