There were many super sized P2P networks back in the day. Napster had over 1.5 million simultaneous users, FastTrack had nearly 5 million, and eDonkey2000 had a similar - if not larger - population. Those are impressive numbers, and for a time, were the top contenders for the P2P crown. But then BitTorrent came along.

....

"Your claim is now in a queue. Well, we decided to go ahead -- we just applied for an entry in the Guiness book of world records,? their latest blog post reads.

The growth of The Pirate Bay has been truly phenomenal, and dispels myths that P2P technology is becoming less popular. Oh, and what does The Pirate Bay hope to enter the records as? "Biggest file sharing network in the world," they tell us.

And what were BitTorrent's numbers? I wonder how they compare with iTunes?
