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."

    Just had the thought of a bunch of geeks sneaking over to Cuba to get Fidel Castro to set up a BT tracker.

    On second thought that probably wouldn't work out well for him, that would just give GWB a reason to invade Cuba, (like GWB really needs a reason to invade ANY soverign country)
