p2pnet.net Feature:- p2pnet’s regular, and unique, Movies File Share Top Ten is compiled with statistics from Big Champagne. For an explanation of how BC arrives at the numbers, here’s the company’s Adam Toll.
“We monitor BT sites (a constantly evolving set) and observe, in addition to all the other available information, the number of users leeching(downloading) each title at any given time. Using the information collected and processed continually, we then calculate the average number of simultaneous leechers for each period. This is a little different from the P2P measure, as explained below.
“While the P2P measure published on p2pnet.net shows the average simultaneous users who are sharing the movie on P2P networks, the BT measure represents the relatively smaller number of people who are, on average, actively downloading the movie (in other words, in the process of downloading the movie) at any given time. This is a very different statistic. These two measures are a consequence of the differences in the ways that P2P and BT work.”
With all the dross being pumped out by research and marketing firms on what’s supposedly happening with p2p, it’s good to have at least one firm around which shows the picture as it really is as opposed to the way the many supposedly ‘independent’ reports commissioned by the entertainment and software cartels present it.
