BitTorrent Accounts for 35% of Traffic
Pranjal writes "According to a reuters article on Yahoo, BitTorrent accounts for an astounding 35 percent of all the traffic on the Internet -- more than all other peer-to-peer programs combined -- and dwarfs mainstream traffic like Web pages."

I only use it for downloading Linux ISO's. It really is the best way to get them. The old way of FTP sites sucked, especially when a new distribution was released.
Apparently, someone at my ISP does as well. Since it's the only P2P program that they allow traffic from.
35% of internet traffic is BitTorrent
50% is pr0n
10% is SPAM
4% is actual content

I have an ingenious plan here.. when they do that we either change the file name, or better yet embed them in pr0n and the like and let them get distracted :)

According to a new study, Sedans account for an astounding 35 percent of all the traffic on the Highway -- more than all other vehicle types combined -- and dwarfs mainstream traffic like station wagons.
The article goes on to talk about how Sedans are no longer beneath the radar of those who like to sue people who transport people and items that might just fucking belong to them in the first place.
Can someone tell me how many percentage points there are in all the internets? I'm pretty certain that about 70% is pron, 50% is spam mail and at least 85% of all internet traffic was in the form of mysterious, partisan, hard to prove or disprove, statistics about internet traffic.
THe other 65% is Flash .
