... File transfer is listed as 47% and email as 7 percent....
As best I can remember file transfer
and email have always been within 2 or 3 per centage points of
each other in use varying from about 22 to 29%.
While it is true that the percentage of total traffic resulting from FTP is
indeed growing, I suspect the first figures above are for byte counts and
the second set of figures you cite are for packet count.
