File exchange software or P2P generates from 50% to 90% Internet traffic. About that attests a inquiry that made German company Ipoque. I think it is normal that most part of traffic takes Bittorent and eDoneky protocols.

The leader is Bittorent – with this protocol’s help 80 percents data are transmitted. But the most popular Internet telephony system Skype that uses many hundreds of millions people in the all world generates about 2-8% of Internet traffic. And after resent skype system’s accident this meter have fallen.

P2P traffic biggest part is in Europe. But in USA it makes only 37% of Internet traffic. Ipoque analyst thinks that this number will fall because more and more traffic will go to HTTP protocol because there are sites like Youtube that “eats” much traffic and Joost.

I have created a new site. It calls Most popular youtube videos. I created it few days ago. And the hardest part is to get visitors. Script gets most watched videos in youtube and shows it in my video site.

Further details are available about windows vista and windows xp new service packs. Meanwhile service packs are in testing, these packs are given out to about 100 people. And these service packs are available in emule file exchange software.

Official dates when these service packs will be released are in first part of 2008. We don’t gt anything special from these service packs. Windows Xp SP3 will include Network Access Protection that is already included in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista.

Windows Vista service pack 1 will included tools that will make windows vista faster (including making faster Internet Explorer 7), will be improved disk encoding in BitLocker Drive Encryption and will be added remote VPN control using SSTP protocol
