Series creator Vince Gilligan, in an interview after the show ended, said that the show was meant to have a “finite” ending. As reported earlier, even among those who have a Netflix subscription, many prefer to grab a copy via torrent sites as they find it more convenient,” it wrote.Īfter the show ended, hundreds of thousands of people went on Twitter to express their pleasure with the finale. “One of the explanations for this defiant behavior is that these downloaders simply prefer to torrent the show out of habit. However, HBO’s “Game of Thrones” had the largest swarm on BitTorrent with 170,000 people sharing a single file. It said that Australia took the lead with 18 percent of total downloads.
Never before have so many people downloaded a Breaking Bad episode, making it a strong contender for a top spot in our most-pirated TV-shows of the year chart,” the site wrote.
“Data gathered by TorrentFreak shows that 12 hours after the first copy of the episode appeared online, more than half a million people has grabbed a copy through one of many torrent sites. Most of the downloaders came from Australia, the U.S., and the U.K. Monitoring site Torrent Freak reported that more than 500,000 people downloaded and shared the final episode of the popular AMC show. “Breaking Bad” set a torrent download record on Sunday night and Monday when its series finale premiered.
