Traffic also has dropped, at least in the UK, because most torrent sites are denied to all but the determined file sharer. To access them, VPN is essential.
I hadn't realised that P2P traffic had dropped so much, to the point that policing may not be worthwhile. The number of seeders does not appear to have dropped per torrent, but I guess the global picture is different than the national one.
