For those not familiar, BitTorrent is a file sharing app that is commonly used for exchanging full movies. As such, folks are moving gigabyte files regularly and it's not surprising that this is detectable. Shuffling .mp3's around would be trivial by comparison.

I'm thinking the sampling methodology here might be a little skewed.1) where was the measurement done? 2) how was the measurement done? 3) what population was sampled? On some networks BT might account for far more than 30%, on others far, far less... Perhaps the writers will answer? -Chris
