The End of an Era – BitTorrent Challenged by Netflix

[p2p rules]

There’s clamor from both sides of the fence – whether BitTorrent remains the king of Internet protocols, or whether something leaner and meaner has taken over. That something leaner and meaner, so the numerous reports contend, is Nexflix. Eh, really? Yeah, really.

It’s hardly any surprise that Sandvine’s latest Internet snapshot paints a rather dire picture for the king (or former king) of Internet protocols. With numerous lawsuits, litigation, hefty fines, and other detriments making the BitTorrent landscape looking like a minefield, netizens have predictably jumped ship to alternative methods such as the newsgroups, or as Sandvine points out, Netflix.

Two words from my bible of litany B*LL S***T.

I like yourself stripes am always suspicious of these organisations who just so happen to release "reports " on cue for those who pay the right price that seem to say whatever they wish it to, moral of the story.. don't believe the tripe..
