MUMBAI: Films continued to be downloaded at a fast pace as Fast Five topped the list of 2011‘s most-pirated films on BitTorrent, according to a data.
With Fat Five being illegally downloaded 9.3 million times this year, there shows a significant drop from last year‘s most-downloaded film Avatar that was downloaded more than 16 million times.
In fact, the average number of downloads for the entire top 10 list is lower than 2010, which the data attributes to the "increase in legal alternatives" as well as "alternative piracy sources" including cyber lockers and streaming sites.
Coming in at No. 2 was The Hangover Part II with 8.8 million downloads, followed by Thor (8.3 million), Source Code (7.9 million) and I Am Number Four (7.7 million).
What followed were films like I Am Number Four (7.7 million), Sucker Punch (7.2 million), 7. 127 Hours (6.9 million), Rango (6.5 million), The King‘s Speech (6.3 million) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (6 million).
