And how much of that bandwidth is spam?
Spam is an infitesimal amount of consumed bandwidth. It is a huge part of email traffic, but email traffic is a very small part of overall ISP traffic.
True, but think about the fact that most spam is now sent from 0\/\/n3d or trojaned PC boxes running windows - the owner of the PC does not even now their machine is spewing spam.

I think in *SOME* cases, some of these "hogs" could actually be zombied PC's, spewing spam as fast as the outgoing pipe will allow.

Are they using much more upstream than downstream? If so, they might be zombies.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17743983 Wed, 31 Jan 2007 12:34:22 EDT Re: Wow http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17738763 cdru :

Any real man can juggle a porn habit and a girlfriend or wife.
What's a lot tougher is juggling a porn habit and a girlfriend and a wife.

I don't think very much. Even though there is a crapload of
spam, BT downloads makes up most of it, and I can assume 1/3rd of those BT downloads are porn.
Given that porn has driven the growth of the Internet even since the beginning (whether people want to acknowledge it or not), it wouldn't be surprising that at least 1/3 of the hogged bandwidth was porn.
