BitTorrent Beats Kazaa In Traffic Numbers

Posted by timothy on from the tragic-bittorrent-use-among-the-elderly dept.

prostoalex writes "CacheLogic attempted to measure the peer-to-peer network traffic by installing their network monitoring tools in data centers of large ISPs. The results are in, and Bram Cohen's BitTorrent overtook Kazaa's FastTrack network. BitTorrent traffic amounted to 53% of all peer-to-peer traffic, according to CacheLogic. It's worth noting, though, that Kazaa traffic is highly seasonal, as a lot of high-schoolers and college students are simply on vacation this time of year."

    First you take Skippy and you spread it, you spread it.

    Then you take granola and you crunch it, you crunch it.

    Skippy, that's what's in the jar. The very same Skippy that's what's in the bar. Skippy snack bar!
