[release] Each and every day hundreds of millions of people scour their favorite BitTorrent search engines for content to download. But what are all these people looking for? Today we present the BitTorrent Zeitgeist 2011, a list of the 50 most searched for phrases and keywords on one of the most used public BitTorrent indexes during the past year. [IMG]http://torrentfreak.com/images/2011.jpg[/IMG]During December, all self-respecting search engines produce an overview of the most popular search terms of the past year. These lists give insight into recent trends, and in 2011 Rebecca Black, Google Plus and Ryan Dunn were the [URL="http://www.googlezeitgeist.com/en/top-lists/global/fastest-rising"]fastest rising searches[/URL] on Google. But what about BitTorrent? With billions of searches every year it’s worth taking a look at the most-entered keywords on the dominant file-sharing network. Unfortunately there is no central database of searches available, but Kat.ph, one of the top 5 torrent sites in terms of visitors, was kind enough to share the most popular search terms of 2011 with us. This list is based on millions of searches and gives an indication of what people were looking for on BitTorrent during the last 12 months. Interestingly, the most searched for terms are not targeted at specific content, but used to discover files instead. [B]“Ita,”[/B][B] “French”[/B] and [B]“2011″[/B] make up the top three and are used to find media in Italian, French and from 2011 respectively. The same is true for [B]“DVDrip”[/B] and[B]“720p”[/B] which are also listed in the top 10. The first search term related to a specific title is [B]“Thor”[/B] in 9th place, a title that also ended up in the [URL="http://torrentfreak.com/top-10-most-pirated-movies-of-2011-111223/"]most pirated movies[/URL] list of this year. Movie related searches are clearly the most popular among users of the site as we also find [B]“Harry Potter,”[/B] [B]“Kung Fu Panda 2,” “Green Lantern”[/B] and [B]“Transformers 3″[/B] in the top 20. Traditionally, TV-shows are also much sought after on BitTorrent as well, and that’s no different this year. [B]“Glee”[/B] is the most popular TV-related search phrase in 13th place, followed by [B]“True Blood,” “Game of Thrones,” “How I Met You Mother,” “Supernatural,” “House,” “Dexter”[/B] and [B]“Breaking Bad”[/B] further down the list. Besides movies and TV-shows the list is completed with a few unavoidable adult related searches, and the relatively rare software and game related keywords such as [B]“PSP”[/B] (11) and[B]“Windows 7″ [/B](23). Music isn’t all that popular on public BitTorrent indexes, as we find the first and only artist related search is [B]“Adele”[/B] in 44th place. Below is the full list of the 50 most-entered search phrases on Kat.ph. This list will be different on other public BitTorrent sites, but we assume that the top searches will be popular on other indexes as well. 1. ita 2. french 3. 2011 4. ita dvd 5. xxx 6. dvdrip 7. italian 8. kickasstor 9. thor 10. 720p 11. psp 12. harry potter 13. glee 14. kung fu panda 2 15. green lantern 16. 1080p 17. wwe 18. movies 19. porn 20. transformers 3 21. cars 2 22. captain america 23. windows 7 34. true blood 25. fast and furious 5 26. hindi 27. sex 28. game of thrones 29. telugu 30. tamil 31. rango 32. super 8 33. playboy 34. x art 35. how i met your mother 36. pirates of the caribbean 37. x men 38. transformers 39. mac 40. rio 41. supernatural 42. kickassto 43. source code 44. adele 45. house 46. sucker punch 47. final destination 5 48. dexter 49. nero 50. breaking bad[/release] [URL]http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-zeitgeist-what-people-searched-for-in-2011-111227/[/URL]

1. ita What is ita? damn it. Ninja'd

transformers 3 came in above breaking bad fuck the world
[QUOTE=Kopimi;33946828]transformers 3 came in above breaking bad fuck the world[/QUOTE] Pretend that more people wanted to actually buy Breaking Bad because they felt that it was worth money and Transformers wasn't.
[QUOTE]11. psp[/QUOTE] I thought nobody cares about those anymore?
[QUOTE=tehMuffinMan;33946813]1. ita What is ita? damn it. Ninja'd[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Singo;33946820]ita?[/QUOTE] did you try reading the article?
[QUOTE=The Baconator;33946899]I thought nobody cares about those anymore?[/QUOTE] people care so little that nobody makes or carries games for it so you HAVE to pirate them
Actually this makes me quite happy... considering 2011 was a very huge year for gaming, and I don't even see one major hit on the list. No Skyrim, no BF3, MW3, Assasssins Creed... and whatever. They're not even in the Top50... Where's you're Pirate PC Crisis now Ubisoft?... well maybe there is a [quote] 26. hindi 27. sex [/quote] crisis... but pirating seems to be in a bearable state for the market as of now.
I loved the "1080p." I don't care what I'm stealing, but it better look good on my expensive TV. Logic, it makes lots.
[QUOTE]2. french[/QUOTE] Hoh hohh
[QUOTE=The Baconator;33946899]I thought nobody cares about those anymore?[/QUOTE] it just appears that way because nobody actually buys the games
" 14. kung fu panda 2 " lol really?
[QUOTE=Zeke129;33946985]it just appears that way because nobody actually buys the games[/QUOTE] because its expensive as fuck.
I can only guess number 2 is "french" because a lot of pirates are from France and they need the dubbed version. That or everyone wants to learn French and Rosetta Stone: French is too expensive.
Who goes looking for porn and just searches "porn" or "sex" lol I don't care what it is as long as there are people doing sexual things.
Gotta love that Hindi Sex, man.
Italians are pirates.
[QUOTE=Colliseemoe;33947069]Who goes looking for porn and just searches "porn" or "sex" lol I don't care what it is as long as there are people doing sexual things.[/QUOTE] People who have just discovered what a search engine is.
I am either blind or I don't see any game on that list.
[QUOTE=Colliseemoe;33947069]Who goes looking for porn and just searches "porn" or "sex" lol I don't care what it is as long as there are people doing sexual things.[/QUOTE] You'd be surprised. Some time ago there were a thread with a list of the most popular searches in Pakistan. It was shit like "donkey sex", "child sex", "dog sex video" and similar.
[QUOTE=adam1172;33947131]Italians are pirates.[/QUOTE] Yar har!
I know my instrument is cool, but I would never have imagined that it's that popular: [url]http://www.ita-web.org/[/url] Share the love, I guess.
People are fucking horny.
[QUOTE=adam1172;33947131]Italians are pirates.[/QUOTE] Yes, we are mobster pirates with pasta guns and cannons firing soccer balls.
inb4 51-60 are all this year's hit games
[QUOTE=Rolond Returns;33948484]inb4 51-60 are all this year's hit games[/QUOTE]Game piracy is not even close to that of movies.
[QUOTE=J4censolo;33947005]" 14. kung fu panda 2 " lol really?[/QUOTE] Funnily enough the main kung fu panda torrents are the [url=http://irdeto.com/en/anti-piracy-services.html]most snooped by Irdeto[/url] at the moment.
