|  60% of the internet traffic is P2P
Some thing i found out in the latest PC Authority.
CasheLogic as done some rearch into internet trafic, and they have found that 60% of the internet traffic is P2P Networks.
What is traded via P2P is as follows :- 60% VIDEO
10% MUSIC
30% OTHER
And just alone in Australia, about 55% of internet traffic here is BIT TORRENT related.
(Does not suprise me considering our local tv networks just show cr@p)
It's rather funny considering that i had my sister said the following to me last month :- Quote: |
"Why can you just use the internet for looking for thing and playing WOW like every body one else in the world."

Well now I think about it does make sense because all in bit torrent you are doing is CONSTANTLY seeding or downloading and on the internet you can take a break from downloading by reading a page of text or something.

I'd hate to see the break down of the OTHER 30%.
It's scary some of the things people download.

My usage would probably be 70% torrents, and 30% for online games. I don't do that much web browsing except for these forums.

Just to mark the occasion of this newly found information, I found these following song The Bittorrent Song (with Subtitles
Enjoy.
This song does put a tear to my eye ever since my sister has banned me from using Bit Torrent at home.
I can not wait until I move out next month
Thank goodness I have my word's computer for all most of my torrenty goodness.

The RIAA thinks they have a grip over music pirating, if they only had the slightest idea...
