Downloading on the up

A survey from moneysupermarket.com has shown the increased usage of Internet amongst mainstream consumers.

The numbers are quite impressive:

"We are a nation of download addicts, with over half the population (55 per cent) spending an average 172 hours (or more than seven solid days) of leisure time per year downloading from the internet."

The traditional position of porn as the main target of the downloading is clearly waning if you believe the research.

Opt genres downloaded (from the same research)

1. 69% - Music (at least one tune)
2. 60% - Software updates
3. 50% - Freeware / shareware
4. 41% (women) / 34% (men) - Games
5. 20% - Adult Content

8% of employees also apparently download their porn at work ... scary.
