New data published by Canadian broadband management company Sandvine reveals that cloud storage, YouTube, and other apps have taken over. This marks the end of a period of declining dominance that started two decades ago when BitTorrent reportedly accounted for a third of all web traffic.

Was it ever a competition? BitTorrent was that volume because that's what people were doing. Now with streaming there's less incentive to sail the high seas.
