How incredibly rude, are you calling australia an incompetent nation of computer users.
As an australian who regularly uses bittorent sites i find this rude and blatantly inflated by the usual American Ego.
Australia as a country is one of the most developed technologically in the western world, and we suffer less then america when it comes to widespread computer glitches and remeber the internet is global so it gets to us aswell. Why you may ask because australians know and understand how to protect there computers from various things including alexa.

These statistics are quite skewed. Alexa collects it’s stats with spyware included in windows XP. The tech-savvy group of users either don’t use windows XP, or are intelligent enough to use antispyware and firewalls to prevent stats reporting. Not to mention, it only counts IE hits, no Firefox, no Netscape.

Alexa only works on computers that users do not run programs like Spybot on.

Chances are if you are in the US and smart enough to know how to use torrents, then you’ve probably removed alexa.

In those other countries, it is probably more widespread among new comers that don’t know much about computers.

You may not know this but alexa doesn’t send an email to these sites asking for visitor logs.

It’s probably because we (myself from the UK) get the TV shows off the US, as it’s shown on their TV, so why do they need to download it, they can just watch it?

[...] Am aflat de la Siropel ca AMD va produce chipset pentru procesoarele Intel si ca Romania se afla pe locul 2 in topul tarilor cu cetateni “pasionati” de torrent. [...]

Agree with one, although, there’s always a way to skew statistics. For example, this can be popularity based on population, or it could just be that most Americans are bumbling idiots who don’t use bittorrent… I mean I don’t know anyone that uses it that I haven’t introduced it to.

the fact that the u.s. doesn’t even rank in the listings in your second set of data gives me serious doubts about the conclusions. i’m certain that bit torrent is incredibly popular almost everywhere in the usa.
