BitTorrent is No Longer the 'King' of Upstream Internet Traffic
BitTorrent is no longer the 'King' of upstream traffic, marking the end of a period of declining dominance that started two decades ago.

Article notes this doesn't account for VPNs.
Ha ha lol, so the article is worthless.
How is that relevant though? Are they only monitoring what's occurring in Canada?
If it's global, then it wouldn't matter. BitTorrent traffic doesn't care what IP it egresses out of.
It's not just limited to Canada, it's limited to a single ISP in Canada posting their traffic stats.
I still think it’s crazy that people prefer streaming to downloads.
I don’t have infinity storage space, and if the intention is to erase after watching then why not just stream on stremio?
I’m saying this as someone with 70TB usable storage in nas
It seems my situation is different, sometimes I want to watch some movie. I know which. I spin up my external Harddrive and BAM! I AM watching MY movie. If I dont have a Movie or whatelse downloaded and it needs to be now not later, then its always very frantic, because, well streaming services are a bit crap.
I guess I don't watch enough TV or movies to justify streaming/not downloading.
Well, it is more convenient, but do you know what is even more convenient? Using a service that has all the catalogue of all paid streaming sites together, with no ads whatsoever, I'm talking about Stremio or Kodi along with a debrid account.
In a nutshell Stremio turned the hoarding me into a streaming guy.
Jup, debrid is the way to go.
I prefer streaming. I'll just stream movie from my Jellyfin instance instead of downloading. 😅
Now she is a queen, as dark and beautiful as the night
Stronger than the foundations of the earth, all shall love her, and rejoice

"New data published by Canadian broadband management company Sandvine reveals that cloud storage, YouTube, and other apps have taken over. "
Information wants to be fast and free. Corporations want information paywalled. It’s a fact that streaming is faster and more convenient than downloading and storing. Until we live in a society where anything is accessible to anyone at any time… both methods will need to exist, otherwise information will be lost.
On an unrelated note, I fucked up and used my limited 1.5 tb data for the month in 2 weeks because of torrent and buying extension packs for the rest of the month. At least it probably helped someone else out there.
There's dlc for Internet now?
Well the unlimited plans start from twice as much and 1500 gb is good enough for normal usage if your not torrenting.
Sadly, data DLC is older than video game DLC if you live in archaic areas where ISPs offer whatever unfavourable terms they wish.
When I moved into my otherwise shitty apartment, having Google Fiber was the selling point. Paying Comcast a monthly fee for unlimited bandwidth is something I vow never again to do.
