Cambridge, England - CacheLogic, Ltd. – a world leader in Peer-to-Peer traffic management and network intelligence solutions – today published an updated analysis of worldwide Peer-to- Peer (P2P) traffic detailing the worldwide breakdown of P2P file trading networks. The study confirms that eDonkey 2000 has overtaken BitTorrent™ to become the world’s largest P2P file trading network. The data for this study was obtained through CacheLogic’s Streamsight Analysis Network Program, which enables analysis based on actual packet data and traffic levels obtained from ISPs (Internet Service Providers) worldwide.
Using the advanced Layer-7 technology found in both its Peer-to-Peer Management Solution and Deep Packet Inspection products, CacheLogic analyzed data from monitoring probes located around the world. The data shows that while BitTorrent remains extremely popular in Asia (with the notable exception of South Korea, where 92% of all P2P traffic is eDonkey), European, North American and Latin American users have shifted to eDonkey for the vast majority of file trading. Specific details of the worldwide geographic breakdown of P2P are available to qualified press and analysts and may be obtained by emailing media representative Jonathan Hirshon at [email protected], subject line ‘CacheLogic Study’.
“CacheLogic has noted a significant shift in the balance of traffic levels assosciated with the main P2P protocols through our unique access to actual Web traffic data throughout the world,” said Andrew Parker, Chief Technology Officer for CacheLogic. “Over the last six months, the traffic levels for the eDonkey protocol have grown to a level greater than that of BitTorrent. Such file-sharing applications continue to be the single largest traffic burden on ISP networks.”
To further enhance its ability to offer unique commentary and insight regarding Internet traffic patterns, CacheLogic also announced the free expansion of its Streamsight Analysis Network to a range of new ISPs around the globe. ISPs interested in obtaining a unique window into the data crossing their networks can sign up for the program by visiting http://www.cachelogic.com/san. Upon acceptance (subject to the outlined terms and conditions and at CacheLogic’s sole discretion) program members will receive a free CacheLogic Layer-7 packet analyzer that will provide immediate and specific details on all data types traversing the ISP’s network, including P2P, Instant Messaging, VoIP and other popular protocols and applications.
“CacheLogic is committed to assisting ISPs as they deal with the ever- changing dynamics of Internet traffic - the global expansion of the Streamsight Analysis Network is a significant step forward in providing the necessary insight into the protocols that define the most popular applications in use by subscribers,” noted Parker.

Edonky sucks
too right digital bliss donkey suck's
i dont care who u r!!
u cant tell me that at the min Donkey reign's!!
my arse BT F..king rock's(Like a young Mike Tyson-Smash Donkey in 2/3round's-Earlier!!)
hoot hoot BT
I'm surpised edonkey took over BT, I would have expected BT to catch up and take over, being a newer method of P2P in all. Edonkey only took over because all these noobs haven't a clue how to configure a detailed torrent client so they go for the user friendly programs like emule, limewire or shareaza.
Well, I think the queue line and download speeds are quite slow in edonkey.
I find this incredibly unlikely. These studies about internet traffic are typically bullshit.
Without knowing a lot about Edonkey or this report and how it was generated, my guess is that users of BitTorrent are mixing up their ports (not using the default ones) and Edonkey people are using the default. So, the monitoring they use isn't able to catch traffic that's not on the default port and is not counting it. The newest version of ABC has a default set of ports between 10000 and 60000 and randomizes it's use of those ports. Therefore this report is probably crap.
Exactly! Rich in content, poor when it comes to download speeds and search results ...
if everyone were to use edonkey like when everyone used just napster it wouldnt have the problems it does now. its every one and their mother using their own proietary networks that makes each one suck. that goes for BOTH ed2k and BT.
Not only that most torrent sites that are just offering zero day stuff.. And having it on their sites for no more then 4 weeks are closed groups and trackers. Nothing can be monitored properly with the system they have in place.
BT is cool for full albums and large files. And using the proper sites a person can find ANYTHING they want under those categories.
But, Edonkey does pick up on smaller single file traffic.
If I want to listen to a song by Nelly, I don't need his entire shitty album. :icon_thum

eDonkey can suck my eBalls...
And could you really classify BitTorrent as true P2P?? Or even a "network"..I mean the "P2P" and "network" only go as far as the torrent's tracker does...
Don't you need a torrent file to download a torrent first???
