    What does pirated mean?
    lol i know that it kind of means bootleg but what does it
    mean when you are talking about tv shows.

  2. JP, I think TorrentFreak uses counts of BitTorrent downloads.

  3. JP, this is the most popular torrents of the week. Torrents are the current standard for bootlegging on the internet. (If you would like to find out more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol) )

  4. most popular *TV Show* torrents. I’m sure there are some movies and other stuff that ranked higher.

  5. Ah, yes. In my own personal experience, Burn After Reading is probably up there this week.

    JP, while there are some possibilities for streaming via the Bittorrent protocol, usually you download a file containing the show and then watch it offline. And Bittorrent is not just limited to video. All kinds of files (music, software, pictures) are available.

  9. JP

    OK THAKNX ALLOT!

    For countries with arrogant TV networks (such as Australia), BitTorrent is one of our only alternative means of accessing our favourite US shows. Keep producing our favourite shows US networks, we rely on you!
