Study: eDonkey tops in file-sharing..

[IGBT]

The study, conducted over six weeks beginning in June, only looked at the volume of data moving over the eDonkey, BitTorrent, Gnutella and Kazaa's FastTrack file-swapping networks, not at how many individual users or files they had, said Nicholas Fraka, marketing manager for CacheLogic. They thus favored eDonkey and BitTorrent because of their use for larger files.

BitTorrent, which grew in popularity in recent years given its ability to transfer large files much more efficiently, had accounted for a little more than 50 percent of all file-sharing traffic and 30 percent of all traffic on the Internet, according to a previous CacheLogic analysis last year.

I'd be very interested to see the methodology for tracking the "quantity of data." The technologies are so different it'd be very hard to get an accurate read that would be comparable across all those platforms.
