Most numbers are about 1%, and about 9% of torrents contain one or
more IPv6-capable peers. Ooh aah.
You do have to understand that IPv6 support was available in
BitTorrent clients for a long time, but then the Pirate Bay deployed
trackers (servers) that were incompatible with the existing clients,
so only people who both have IPv6 and a recent IPv6-capable client are
in those numbers. I had to null-route the PB IPv6 address to get my
old client to work again over IPv4...
Another example of how NOT to migrate from old stuff to new stuff.
