Отключаем режим Supernode в Skype

Supernode - In peer-to-peer networking, a supernode works as one of that network’s relayers and proxy servers, handling data flow and connections for other users. This usually requires a fairly fast Internet connection with a lot of bandwidth and a modest amount of CPU time, as a lot of data will invariably pass through the supernode and needs to be processed.

Some peer-to-peer designs allow for the user to choose whether they ever want to be treated as supernodes; others do not. Skype by default is configured as a supernode, an issue that has caused controversy.

There are several ways to prevent Skype from becoming a supernode:

Beginning with Skype 3.0, an explicit switch is provided in the registry settings to allow the disabling of supernode functionality.
Any computer hosted on a network that is behind a network address translation (NAT) device or restrictive firewall will disable supernode functionality.
Skype clients behind an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy will not serve as supernodes.

Save and run the following text as NoSuperNode.reg (a reboot will be required):

regedit.exe

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Skype]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Skype\Phone]
“DisableSupernode”=dword:00000001
