In March of 2005, Slyck compiled our collected data. Starting with January of 2003, the respective statistics for eDonkey2000, DirectConnect, FastTrack, Gnutella and Overnet were averaged per month. Unfortunately there is no accurate way to gauge BitTorrent’s population (other than bandwidth consumption), therefore it is excluded. We then released our “Stats Expanded” section, which graphically depicted the growth or decline of these five networks.
Also, today Bush signed into law the draconian Family Entertainment and Copyright Act, which makes possession of a single copy of a prerelease movie in a shared folder on your computer punishable by three years in the clink.
