Long live the pirate community! And btw, District 9 seems very interesting.

Halo Wars??

7 Sep 07, 2009 at 23:52 by Mermex

District 9… Bruno… Halo Wars… Wait wat?!

8 Sep 07, 2009 at 23:57 by COldFission

Halo wars isn’t a movie, it’s a RTS game for the 360.

9 Sep 08, 2009 at 00:01 by Guy Who Saw That "Halo Wars"

It’s just all the cutscenes from the game put together- don’t download it.

It isn’t worth the watch, most of the action happens outside the cutscenes (because it’s a game). Thus, there are HUGE gaps in it. Like you will see a scene of them getting ready to attack, and them it goes to the aftermath of the attack.

Don’t waste your time.

@#3

11 Sep 08, 2009 at 00:44 by theghostbay.org

I’m surprised The Boat That Rocked even made it on the list :P

This is water that floats up the river. Halo wars…hope they made a mistake.

13 Sep 08, 2009 at 00:53 by SomeGuy

How torrentfreak even compiles is data is undisclosed.

For all we know, they throw some random numbers up in wordpres and push the publish button.

Of course, ya’ll are just like OH OKAY, MUST BE TRUE, KTHNX.

14 Sep 08, 2009 at 00:55 by 7SeVeN7

Bruno?????
who the fcuk would waste bandwidth on that pice of shit????

stream any/all @ ninjavideo.net!

15 Sep 08, 2009 at 01:01 by theghostbay.org

Wait..Halo wars?

It’s a movie?!

16 Sep 08, 2009 at 01:02 by Guy Who Saw That "Halo Wars"

@15

look at @9

No it isn’t, it’s a waste of time.

Don’t bother with it.

17 Sep 08, 2009 at 01:10 by Mr. Original

OMG! like is Halo Wars even a movie?

18 Sep 08, 2009 at 01:27 by ju

yeh halo wars (cutscenes) isnt that good.

@13, SomeGuy

nowhere do they claim that the data is strictly objective and only a retard would use it as a legitimate source without first seeing how its compiled. its only a vague collection of trends for the layman

19 Sep 08, 2009 at 01:38 by Explanation

People think, that [b]Halo Wars[/b] is a normal movie.

20 Sep 08, 2009 at 02:18 by Bob Smith

How does Torrentfreak compile there numbers?

21 Sep 08, 2009 at 02:48 by Ash Ketchum

Heres an example of how one can get such stats. http://www.torrentz.com/verifiedP?q=movie

Although I don’t see Halo Wars there, many people most likely downloaded it the day it was released.

22 Sep 08, 2009 at 03:34 by Anon

District 9 is good, Bruno is crude but decent. State of play and the Hangover are okay-ish.

The rest of them are varying degrees of crap, with the bottom three really pushing new lows for just how bad a film can get…I’m ashamed of just what poor taste bittorrent users have.

23 Sep 08, 2009 at 03:36 by Chillax

@SomeGuy

You need to take a chill pill. All your comments are negative and condescending. The stress is not good for your blood pressure.

24 Sep 08, 2009 at 04:15 by E

remember that this is top downloaded, not highest rated, or best movies for the week

25 Sep 08, 2009 at 05:51 by wth

a lot of you seem to want the media beast to die, so what are you doing eating the fruits of their labor? spit it out already, and focus on something other than sensational, happy ending, gore-spattered, brain polluting crap. if you like a couple movies that come out thats fine, but if you eagerly anticipate every new blockbusting piece that comes out, you deserve to have your money and time taken from you at 12 dollars a head, because you are already theirs.

26 Sep 08, 2009 at 09:59 by johannesfaust

most of them are crap I would say, I actually don´t watch that sh**t but I download it just because I have time and I like to f***k the ¨industry¨….

27 Sep 08, 2009 at 13:33 by Explanation

The Boat That Rocked is awesome!

28 Sep 08, 2009 at 17:18 by jemoer

@20 Sep 08, 2009 at 02:18 by Bob Smith

I believe they are just good friends with a lot of admins from popular torrent sites so they just go to TPB, Mininova, etc admins and ask them for the numbers.

Gross to see Bruno on that list. Just watching the commercials for that movie makes me go insane.

Haven’t seen District9 yet, but it has a nice IMDB rating. Will have to watch it one day.

30 Sep 08, 2009 at 23:09 by SAM6

D9 was great amazing film
rest of the list are different styles of the same crap

31 Sep 09, 2009 at 03:13 by h8er

i still think we should make a list void of cams….they’re almost ALWAYS worthless and ruin movies for more people than they please…keep the movement going people!! DOWN WITH CAMS!!

32 Sep 09, 2009 at 13:21 by klitoratii

halo wars should so not be making this chart. it’s not even a movie! someone just ripped the in-game movies and stuck them all together! flagggg

That may be true but since this is an info tread I don’t see why cams or any other type of movie even homemade should not be counted.

I think this is not a DVDrip stats only but a general view of the landscape that encompasses more then one category, no?

No.
