I bet this article will be featured in every press syndicateDon't you?
Our reality is... As long as the **AA and Big Media are one and the same, this story will never see ink in a major publication.

Re: I wondersaid by DrModem:I wonder why P2P traffic is down My bet would be that these two would be among the reasons: 1. TV Shows are often available for streaming after airing, in good quality, with a minimum of commercial interruptions. 2. Likewise Amazon, Netflix, and etc. keeps movies available "in the cloud" which minimizes the need to "hoard" an unseen movie when it is noticed on the P2P network others? | |

Re: I wonderYou are paying for the series and original content. Showtime has sucked for me since stargate went to sci-fi or syfy | |

p2p traffic is down due to the fact that use of "1 click" hosters like rapidshare etc is overtaking torrenting as the preferred method of filesharing. | |

more legal methods for downloading/streaming media for free has a major part. Fancast/Hulu are more efficent then torrents. | |

Re: I wondersaid by Kearnstd:Fancast/Hulu are more efficent then torrents. How so? Fancast and Hulu have to force the content down a single channel, congested or not. The P2P networks offload their heavier traffic on uncongested routes. | |

said by DrModem:Why P2P traffic is down Surprise--- it's the rise of LEGAL options such as Hulu, Netflix, Amazon.com etc etc Maybe not everybody is all hardcore pirates as the RIAA/MPAA players would like you to believe. We all know video takes up bandwidth, so the more LEGAL video options become available the less people need to turn to P2P to find shows and movies, and the result is a fall in P2P traffic. Course, this could be spun a different way. In fact I'll bet that's exactly what will happen. You'll see stories talking about how the lawsuits and prosecutions are "working" and making people stop using P2P and file sharing. Ya, right. Damn, they will too. You know they will. | |

Makes SenseComcast has their own national backbone, AT&T's ATTIS/SBCIS backbone handles AT&T DSL customers, Verizon-GNI handles Verizon customers, Suddenlink has a backbone...the list goes on.It's amazing how much peering we have in the US these days...makes it nice for educational institutions because they can hook into National LambdaRail TransitRail and just dump traffic in Chicago, Seattle and LA onto providers like Comcast, without having to use (relatively) expensive transit carriers.
On P2P, I'm not surprised at all. Music sharing is all but dead, since you can find all that stuff cheaply and quickly online from a variety of sources now. Movies are still being trafficked, but not as much as before. As far as software goes, basically the only thing on the charts right now is Windows 7. | |

Re: Makes SensePersonally I don't want to run 10.6 on a hackintosh. Also, I did buy a family pack of OS 10.6 (the size...requiring a dual-layer DVD, is a rather effective anti-piracy tool) and get Windows 7 free through my school. | |

This is all happening because a lack of content , no good games or if they are good the prices have fallen enough that they are easier to buy then copy.
Im betting a bad economy has a huge role in this as well , maybe most of the folks who used p2p to get music have found other means , or are using encrypted means that can't be distinguished yet ? | |

Re: Makes SenseYou can't forget that distribution methods like steam have pushed gamers away from peer to peer. It has (nearly) all of the convience of downloading the game illegally except you have to pay for it and don't have to worry about viruses (a very nice tradeoff in my book). | |
