Of course that's the advantage for the ISPs, they don't have to pay the big-pipe providers for "internal" traffic, so to the extent they get their customers using this instead of regular p2p, they save on "external" traffic charges.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Statistics-20984795 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:39:34 EDT Re: Statistics http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Statistics-20984732 said by Devorius:

898% of a few kbps, say 10Kbps, is only 89.8kbps. It is like saying that the murder rate increased 100% in a small town, even though they only had two murders because last year they only had one.

Without meaningful numbers, like how many kbps the average file transfer is before and after, those "increased by" percentages are worthless, just like in the murder rate example.
