TV-shows are some of the most wanted files on BitTorrent, and according to some, it’s becoming the modern day TiVo. But what are all those people downloading?

Every week we take a look at the most downloaded TV-Shows on BitTorrent. Lost, which had the honor of being the most pirated show of 2008 is now leading the TV-download chart for the third week in a row. Heroes came close to taking over the lead, but fell a few thousand downloads short.

The data for the most recent TV episodes listed below are collected by TorrentFreak. We use a representative sample of BitTorrent sites and is for informational and educational reference only. We usually include an additional list based on the total number of downloads (not only recent episodes) of all shows in the past week, but these data were not available at the time of publication.
