Hmm... LOL!

Actually, IIRC the last time I tried this (many years ago) the top site 
in terms of traffic was www.knightsofold.com or something wierd like 
that, with all traffic coming from just one machine on the LAN. It was 
16% of our total bandwidth usage. And povray.org wasn't even on the 
chart. (But that was before I became the Mascot...)

Currently it's not possible for me to do any sniffing except for 
broadcast traffic. It's completely possible to reconfigure the network 
switches, but I don't have access to them. I'm only the tea boy, after 
all...
