I mean, sure, email is fairly small compared to torrents, streaming and various file downloads online, but everyone who goes online has access to it anyway, so that has to count for something more than 1.5%. Do the people who initiate Denial of Service attacks get paid or something? Because if not, those guys just have too much time on their hands. And its not good.

I've heard that e-mail traffic itself is about 40% of the internets total traffic, torrents being 30% and the rest being misc.
