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." The article goes on to talk about how BT is no longer beneath the radar of those who like to sue file sharers.

Not BT the program/method, but sites like suprnova and abctorrent or whatever that list torrents for download.

ya but thats even easier than kazaa or something to keep up. suprnova could easily be run out of like china at minimal cost and theres nothin they could do about it... unlike the other P2P things bittorrent requires almost no infrastructure... the other ones you needed servers and search engines in your program and to distribute the program.. BT all you need is a site with links on it.
