True, I don't disagree with this statement - but I just don't think it necessarily shows the full figure. There are a lot of people who once the file is complete, stop torrents - which would make this seeder/leecher number a lowball type figure. I don't have any experience with games or software as the only thing I download is tv shows (only the ones I can't actually get in Australia.. I'd pay for them if I could get them) but from my experience, as soon as a show is uploaded it has a huge seeder/leecher ratio, but several days afterwards, that number appears is always considerably less. For some anecdotal evidence, one TV show I was watching in particular had stopped being shown in Aus but within hours of it being "released" online I was seeing up to 30k seeders at times, yet several days later that number had dropped considerably down to 3k. I just quickly typed Spore into mininova and looked at the top result by seeders and it shows the downloads as over 144k just off mininova alone, although no doubt a few of these would be incomplete, but given mininova's "market share" compared to say the rest of the torrent sharing community, the figure in the article comes across as incredibly low still.
