TV 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?
Heroes is leading this week’s chart again, closely followed by Prison Break and Dexter. How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory are two newcomers.
The data for the most recent TV episodes are collected by TorrentFreak from a representative sample of BitTorrent sites and is for informational and educational reference only. A list of the most pirated TV-shows of 2008, including download count will be published later this week.
