not quite what bacon asked for, but US internet traffic statistic from sometime in 2011

Netflix is by far the most bandwidth-consuming source of traffic. On an average day, 23.3% of all North American traffic comes from or goes to Netflix. BitTorrent is a good second with 16.5% of the traffic pie, meaning that Netflix and BitTorrent together account for almost 40% of all traffic.

another chart, grouping/visualizing the top 100 visited sites (from 2010, europe only) -- (link) - tRuMaN Jan 25, 15:05
one major difference between those two, though, is that BitTorrent is a protocol, and Netflix is an actual company. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 14:58 1

  - So if people only watch it for about 2 minutes would that make the web traffic smaller? -- nm - Bacon Jan 25, 15:01 2
    - yes, cause that chart is in terms of raw data moved, so netflix is a 2 hour movie streamed, - tRuMaN Jan 25, 15:02 1
      - That makes sense!! -- nm - Bacon Jan 25, 15:02
