Recent statistics on the popularity of peer-to-peer systems (e.g. Kazaa)
-
I would like to get more recent statistics (2002) that indicates the rise in the popularity of p2p systems like the number of downloads, etc. I was able to get the following information earlier and I would like to update them. If anybody has a pointer to where I can find such information, I would appreciate it. #. According to Webnoize, the top four file-sharing systems-- FastTrack, Audiogalaxy, iMesh, and Gnutella-- were used to download 3.05 billion files during August, 2001. It also predicts that the FastTrack file-trading network should pass Napster in terms of volume and use by the time this article is published. FastTrack, an Amsterdam-based file-trading network, has boasted traffic growth of 60% a month over the last year or so. At the time of this articles publication, it is expected to have surpassed the 1.57 million simultaneous users that Napster enjoyed at its peak. thanks.
