Fasttrack User Statistics

A little FastTrack network p2p client statistics:
For 24 hours I monitored all downloads from my computer to see which program they were using (eg. Kazaa, iMesh, etc). I used a modified K++ for this. Unlimited number of users could connect and download during this time.
KaZaA = 525 unique users
fileshare = 63 unique users
??? = 7 unique users
Grokster = 6 unique users
========================
Total 601 unique users
KaZaA = 87.3%
fileshare = 10.5%
??? = 1.16%
Grokster = 0.998%
Of these 525 Kazaa users, 34 of them were using K++ with the PL cheat enabled. There were 56 unique defaultuser@KaZaA users (Kazaa Lite) and 24 unique kazaaliteuser@KaZaA (Kazaa Lite) users. Other Kazaa Lite users who have changed their names, and K++ users who have disabled the PL cheat could not be detected. Many of the defaultuser@KaZaA were using K++, but none of the kazaaliteuser@KaZaA users were using it.
Counting K++ users, defaultuser@KaZaA, and kazaaliteuser@KaZaA as Kazaa Lite users, there were 93 unique Kazaa Lite users, or at least 17.7% of all Kazaa users use Kazaa Lite. At least 6.5% of all Kazaa users use K++.

Interesting.
But wouldn't this statistics apply only for the supernod(s) you were connected to?

No, not even that, only the users downloading stuff from me. But it doesn't matter at all since it's all random.

Wow 6.5%. I thought less than 1% would be using K++. Interesting. ;)

For better (more real) stats all this should be done:
- the files which would be shared should be picked carefully (movies, software, pr0n, ...)
- the experiment should last at least few days
- users from different locations should take part
Perhaps we can organize such an experiment, if anyone is interested?

Yeah, that's why the sub-title is "non-scientific though..." :lol:
