While P2P traffic takes up 25.9 per cent of all internet traffic whizzing through ISP PlusNet, this is down from last year.

People are not very smart if they can't see the difference between a proper release and one with malware. Use your common sense as a first line of defense and have your AV as a backup. I never get viruses because of P2P.

I'm talking about the average person (which by the way isn't very smart). An average person just wants the most easy and fastest way of downloading.

The problem is you have to put some effort into it before you can get that ;)

Well i use to use limewire as a p2p client for downloading movies and stuff also Aries was good but nowadays it basically sucks downloading anything from limewire so i use frostwire but still you got lot cleaner and also reliable stuff from bit torrent sites than any p2p network.

12.2TB what? What is P2P info? It seems like a very low figure for anything related to P2P.

You missed the 'a day' and associated 'last year' with the number instead of it ;) Read it again and you'll see :fear: At least that is what I think, if not then I agree with you, 12.2TB a day is still a low number... I believe it must be much more.

FYI, Frostwire is a fork of Limewire PRO ;)
