StatShot: BitTorrent Loves Batman

The Dark Knight continues to cast its vengeful shadow over BitTorrent, according to TorrentFreak, staying on as the most popular pirated movie. Other than that — there was only one new addition to the top 10 list: Elegy, a smaller film starring Ben Kingsley that came out earlier this year.

**TorrentFreak’s Top Downloaded Movies on BitTorrent** As of Nov. 23, 2008
Rank	Last Week	Title
1	1	The Dark Knight
2	3	Tropic Thunder
3	2	Traitor
4	6	Max Payne
5	4	WALL-E
6	…	Elegy
7	5	Step Brothers
8	9	Taken
9	8	The Chronicles of Narnia: Price Caspian
10	10	Burn After Reading

Just like the top BitTorrented movies, the top DVRd broadcast shows are pretty much the same for the week of Nov. 3-9 as they have been for the past few weeks, with Patrick Dempsey’s perfect hair and his crew of dirty doctors from Grey’s Anatomy topping the chart, according to TV by the Numbers.
