Remember, this is a invite only private torrent site so these numbers are high but not suprising considering the game, this is really just a small sample of how many people are itching to get this game.

For reference, the top downloaded PC games on this site are Crysis is at 69,xxx and PES 08 is at 64,xxx grabs respectively.

As of posting this thread, it's now at 4000 grabs.

wow yeah its downloadable what can i say

I'd consider pirating Spore.

And I have a copy coming the 7th.

I can't wait that badly.

Of course i'd delete it as soon as i got my official copy.

Hell, i downloaded the free Creature Creator demo the day before it released I was so hyped.

You know that site is the best online for grabbing stuff?
What are you doing with an account there if you are not pirating your self?

Yeah I downloaded the Creature Creator before it came out as well hehe. Only the free demo version though, so it didn't matter.

Spore's going to be a very popular game, it's not really surprising to see it's high on download lists...

you know whats really sad 297,351 downloads of patapon from one torrent listing site (mininova).  This is a game that was budget priced at $20 dollars.  Its a quality game.

The real kicker is that it sold 430,000 copies worldwide according to vgchartz data

Downloaded it?  You even posted a thread about it I believe.

That's how i heard about it in the first place.

Hehe yeah. I forgot I made that thread.

I'm sorry, I've pre-ordered 2 copies, one for me up here and one as a late Bday gift for my bro back in Miami, and i'm still dowloading this so I can play it early. Not that that makes pirating ok, but they HAVE gotten my money so I really don't see this as pirating.

Oh, I also just noticed in the image you sent that it's from RELOADED. No way is it just on that private tracker. If it's from someone like that I can tell you that it's EVERYWHERE on the internet now.
