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!”

Besides, surely if Windows users share more, that makes them even bigger criminals, no? ;-) ;-)

If you want low maintenance torrenting on a mac, get Transmission. I usually am working 15-20 torrents, two browsers, iTunes, and playing WoW on a MacBook laptop, and I never stop the torrents, even at night.

As a side note, while there’s certainly some justification for negative Mac stereotypes, to dismiss them as simple machines for simple users is ridiculous. Walk into any professional recording studio/post-production facility and 9 times out of 10 you’ll find Apple computers.

I run a home studio with a quad-core Mac Pro and Pro Tools HD. Good luck finding a Windows alternative that’s as powerful, stable, and hassle-free. It doesn’t exist.

What this shows is that Mac users share less than Linux and Windows users.

Most of my Mac apps are open-source, if not, free.

My MBP may have cost $A3199, but that’s in Australian dollars (approximately half price back then). Most Macs are less than $A2000.

Macs do have the capacity to play games but they lack developer support. Luckily there are some out there like Blizzard and Aspyr.

And now for some personal opinion; Macs make being a power user easy. One of the arguments always lobbed at us is that Macs are designed for babies and are too simplistic for anything other than email and web browser. They aren’t of course but they do raise a good point, Macs really do do things simply. On a fresh install I do be on the net within seconds. The first step is to open Safari and then…

I also OWN the a copy if OS that comes with every Mac I buy. Every prebuilt PC I see out there only gives you a restore disc. At any time I could install Tiger on my iMac G3 (which came with OS9) using the discs that came with my PowerBook or MBP. It wouldn’t work very well with 128MB RAM but I can still do it.

I dont care about your crap emulation.. that shit doesnt count. MAC CANNOT DO GAMES. I dont care that mac can play tetris or some small shit game, im talking about real gaming. Guess what else can do ‘gaming’ according to you.. my phone.

Please stop breathing my air #7 meatmcguffin. You fail.

The data is mixed up and can’t fully represent any party from the “3 OSes”.
Especially if you take linux distro trackers into the picture.

‘One “server” can’t represent the Internet.’

And with all statistics and already pointed out by other comments. Don’t say shit about anything until everything is taken care of and counts into the ‘whole picture’.

Just like the top10 statistics .. it presents us a view from some trackers not all trackers. So aboves statement is only the “TPB view” of things and as far as I’m concerned not the best data to represent the 3 parties mentioned.

But still nice numbers and thanks for the posting ;)

Dwm

How do you track that the guy using Windows isn’t doing so on a Mac?

This data is useless, it tells us nothing.

ANd apple fans are stupid and bow dawn and do it.
