if you're interested to see if your pc is acting as supernode with any particular filesharing app, whether it's gnucleus, winmx, fasttrack or anything else, just connect to the network, exit all other bandwidth using applications and stop all your transfers. if your bandwidth meter shows heavy activity in both directions, up and down, your pc is a supernode. as for the “flow thru files”, some apps let you see them as they pass through your machine. i used to stare at the file requests in certain gnutella apps. sometimes i’d think there’s a ton of great stuff out there floating around. sometimes i thought i was looking into a gutter on a rainy night...
