The world at large has finally taken notice of BitTorrent technology, going so far as to call it a behemoth:
"According to British Web analysis firm CacheLogic, BitTorrent accounts for an astounding 35 percent of all the traffic on the Internet -- more than all other peer-to-peer programs combined -- and dwarfs mainstream traffic like Web pages."

Currently, it's Yahoo!'s most-emailed news story.
