The world at large has finally taken notice of BitTorrent technology, going so far as to call it a behemoth:

"According to British Web analysis firm CacheLogic, 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."

Since the article originated in London, it's a bit more fair and balanced than we'd ever see from a domestic (US) news source, and therefore, an interesting read. The Reuters article can be foundhere. (edit: fixed link)

Currently, it's Yahoo!'s most-emailed news story.

Don't know how long this will work. I entered BitTorrent into the search box and got the article.
