Top Ten Most BitTorrented Movies Last Week

By Jane McEntegart

Oscar winner the Hurt Locker has topped TorrentFreak's weekly list of the most pirated movies on BitTorrent.

It's not surprising that the movie that cleaned up at the Oscars is the most pirated movie in the week after the awards show. The Kathryn Bigelow title jumped up from its number 10 spot in the previous week's listings. Percy Jackson and the Olympians entered the charts at number two while New Moon dropped from number one to number three.

Check out TorrentFreak's full top ten below.

While it's nice to see the Hurt Locker's big Oscar wins help it generate some new interest, remember that it along with several other films on this list are now available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc or are better experienced in theatres.

    "remember that it along with several other films on this list are now available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc or are better experienced in theatres."

    unless they're DVD screeners for theater-run movies, or DVD- or blu-ray rips for disc released movies...

    for myself, I'm gonna buy The Hurt Locker, Ninja Assassin, and The Boondock Saints II on blu-ray....

    The point is that R5/DvdScr's suck, where as a standard DvdRip, or BluRay rip are so incredibly better it's not even comparable.

    Hurt Locker = Garbage. Download if you must but don't buy. Best movie of the year? Pfff, please... Academy should stop the politics already.

    Interesting list. How many of the films are actually good enough to want to watch them?

    I loved Boondock Saints 2. It was a terrible standalone movie, but an awesome tribute to the original. I got drunk watching it and laughed more than I have in a long time.
