TorrentFreak is now calling this list the most “shared” instead of the previous most “pirated”, so we will adopt the same convention.

Hey, Heroes actually beat Lost this time around.
Joompa I would suspect that’s largely down to word of mouth on the improved quality of the episode and people wanting to see for themselves. Not that the numbers really mean anything.
This chart is always interesting to me. Do we know where most of those downloaders come from? My guess is that is from people in other countries that don’t want to wait until the shows air in their country.
Melissa I’m sure the networks are hoping that’s the case now they’ve made online access easier with Hulu and their own media players.
Jimmy McAwesome: that is annoying.
