What an hilarious thread.

You traipsed round a few of the top torrent sites and looked at the number of times the torrent file had been downloaded and added them all up, right?

What about usenet? What about the people who downloaded the torrent and never got round to finishing it? What about all the other smaller sites? What about the big sites you're not "cool" enough to have an invite for?

Although in all honesty you'd be a lot cooler if you just downloaded of usenet as the people who know what they're doing do.

Yeah, you da man! Not!

Well you'll never receive a true number. What about all the DC and other P2P stuff? There's no actual DL No. This isn't facts, and internet isn't to be taken so serious. This is just an estimate of a few trackers and numbers off of certain sites. And im not online to be percieved as "cool" LOL!

Then I misinterpreted you're post sorry about that. Just sounded a little ignorant due to the measure you're using only being any use in a relative way to the piracy rate of other games measured on those sites.

There is no way to reliably extrapolate a genuine figure from the numbers you've obtained imo.
