Top 10 Most Pirated TV Shows on BitTorrent
Written by Ernesto on October 14, 2008TV shows are by far the most wanted files on BitTorrent, and according to some, it’s becoming the modern day TiVo. But what are all those people downloading?
Similar to last week, Heroes and Prison Break are leading the chart. Both shows were downloaded over a million times, mostly from outside the US.
Since both shows are ‘released’ on Tuesday, BitTorrent sites see a significant traffic increase on that day.
The data presented here is collected by TorrentFreak from a representative sample of BitTorrent sites and is for informational and educational reference only.

Heroes and dexter rule its cool to get usa shows early in Uk
Finally we get some Dexter on here. That’s one of the greatest shows on television right now
Heh heh, and I just started downloading Family Guy recently. Coincidence much?
But where is Robot Chicken on the chart?!
Something smelly’s going on here…
fyi, the bird is still the word
Dexter is the best show I’ve seen in a long time.
If you haven’t seen it, download it asap.
FAMILY GUY!
Nice nice nice.
Bring on knight rider!!!!
Around how long do easytv or lol take to release their stuff after the airing?
I’ve seen an eztv release as soon as 3 hours after the episode aired
no mention of True Blood or Sons of Anarchy?
eztv is usually very fast, although for the first time in my experience there was some kind of hold up with Sunday’s True Blood episode. It wasn’t until I woke up the next day that I finally saw it available.
eztv is, hands down, the best though! :)
Woop for Family Guy! Season 7 has been awesome for the 2 episodes I’ve seen!
Shame Family Guy and Prison Break are on break until the 19th / 20th…
whats wrong with vtv?
they release my name is earl and stuff eztv dont just as well
EZTV hands down the best ?!? … are you on crack?!
Really – hunt out a bitmetv invite (& get the “mandatory” seedbox) and then you can say you have the best TV tracker out there.
There nothing that can touch it as far as content & speed goes.
No south park?!?
The bird is the word d00dz
House? :(
EZTV handz down is the best tv tracker ;)
wickedy-wickedy-checkyaself before ya reck yaself! booyakasha!
True Blood and Dexter are fantastic. For those that haven’t watched, download the first season of Dexter and episodes 1-6 of True Blood.
Quality shows.
What, no Highlander?, I’ll have to buy it then…
Just kidding ;D
