What you need to look at is that Client/OS of all activity on a site and then group by pirate/OS. IMO if someone is downloading normal linux software from TBP they’re pretty much an idiot…

I was reading and I thought the Mac users were responding in a much more mature and intellectual level… then i keep reading and nope…its still chock full of idiots.

You just cant afford a 3,000 dollar machine.

or Mac is better than your Windoze or Linsux…..lol

Relax, idiots its just a damn operating system……. a really really really expensive one…but ….

Simply put, Mac users aren’t necessarily downloading mac applications, moreso with the ones tech savvy enough (not that it takes much) to dual-boot their machines.

It’s not only that the above results are equivalent to the marketshares… its also less likely that you hold a share where there’s no download.

You should also not forget … that bittorrent is a tiny frame in the options of sharing stuff. Probably Mac-Users just dont use the PirateBay ?

and anyway, for the price of a shitty mac, i can get you and fix properly a PC, I already did for recording studios and they are SO happy their PC DOES NOT HANG UP. while their mac was giving them hard times… not to talk about linux superiority over mac$%&$ (censored) ;-) if you like fancy desktop, try latest Ubuntu (free and soooo complete!)

so please. macmaniacs, the times of MOTOROLA procesors superiority is OVER!… that was in the early 90´s, no talking about the POOR and very limited offer of software for mac.

and, if you have some trouble with mac, you MUST go to some apple service, while almost anyone can repair a PC.

mac ? an anachronism for wannabee snobish $%&$%&$ (again censored), those who would eat anything an aggressive marketing will sell them

Was this calculated over a long period of time or calculated from a weekend when HALO 3 was released ?

Because – I’d be more inclined to believe the Stats – if in fact this isn’t based merely on a snap shot instance during a peak Windows Software migration.

The only software I’ve ever P2Ped was Warcraft updates, and I doubt I’m alone. Macs have loads more functionality out of the box than PCs; thus the “Mac group” gets skewed towards the hardcore warez crowd.

Software P2P is not only not representative of all P2P, I’d wager it’s a very small minority. And for the record, my average ratio fluctuates between 7 and 8.

xTorrent (I had to pirate a torrent program. There’s irony or something there…) and uTorrent 1.6

In my experience, the mac stuff has been rapid, whereas the windows always seems chuggish, as if we’re racing a steam train against the bullet train…

But I also found the mac downloads more reliable.

I believe it’s fitting to say,
“Arr! I be a PC!”
