- MrShlee, on 09/01/2008, -3/+8I'm kicking back on 23mbit/s ADSL2+ with 99% uptime - How is your connection going?
- baldgye, on 09/01/2008, -6/+2Australia probaly has better internet than the US...
- ptFoe, on 09/01/2008, -4/+3yes but the boomerang only offers 20 kbits/s
- donttaseme, on 09/01/2008, -1/+1I heard they can run out of internet, luckily they refill monthly.
- Blade9932, on 09/01/2008, -10/+1Silly North Korea, only Kim Jong can bit-torrent.
All you can do is physically steal your Starcraft 2 - BIGJHUB, on 09/01/2008, -4/+20Nice to see America is a rather dark shade of blue from border to border.
- spikes, on 09/01/2008, -9/+18Why is it that every single torrentfreak article gets to the front page? Ernesto must be just raking it in. This article isn't even interesting.
- krystalo, on 09/01/2008, -3/+4I agree. Buried.
- NekoJames, on 09/01/2008, -2/+0I also agree, this one was dull.
- Meocross, on 09/01/2008, -2/+1I also also agree i mean dont we already know bittorrent is hot cake already?
- DroppedGT, on 09/01/2008, -4/+11Sweden lol. Home of thepiratebay
- Gforce20, on 09/01/2008, -3/+28uTorrent is my preference, mainly because it's completely portable (no registry footprint) and small enough to fit on even a 3.5" floppy disk.
- ptFoe, on 09/01/2008, -10/+5and it is owned by an MPAA bunny
- Meocross, on 09/01/2008, -1/+5I would have switched to Azureus if it wasnt such a slow and complex bloat house
i tested both Azureus and Utorrent on a file that had 9000 seeds.
Utorrent went to 3500mbps in just afew minutes while Azureus was a pathetic 20kbps FOR OVER 30 MINUTES
- Meocross, on 09/01/2008, -1/+5I would have switched to Azureus if it wasnt such a slow and complex bloat house
- Lochie, on 09/01/2008, -2/+38why the ***** you carrying around a 3.5" floppy disk?
- 89vision, on 09/01/2008, -5/+6he never said he was carrying one around
- Gforce20, on 09/01/2008, -6/+7I'm just saying it's small enough, I certainly don't use them anymore.
- mynameistux, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3it was still funny.
- GravitySpec, on 09/01/2008, -2/+40"... and small enough to fit on even a 3.5" floppy disk."
people still use 3.5" floppy disks? - Mexrocker, on 09/01/2008, -2/+34What the hell is a 3.5" floppy disk?
- cap11235, on 09/01/2008, -1/+12It's a floppy disk that is 3.5 inches.
- mynameistux, on 09/01/2008, -2/+10THATS WHAT SHE SAID!
- svivian, on 09/01/2008, -0/+1Yeah good to see uTorrent top of the pile. I never liked Azureus, slow as hell.
Though actually I'm using deluge these days since uTorrent looks like ***** on WINE.- remccain, on 09/02/2008, -0/+1So why the ***** don't you ditch WINE and install VirtualBox?
http://virtualbox.org/

- gplpark92, on 09/01/2008, -13/+1I was almost certain this was an Onion article...
- willster580, on 09/01/2008, -3/+5You know that only works in certain articles, right? This isn't one of them.
- OfNumbers, on 09/01/2008, -2/+3No, I thought it was an Onion article too.
- willster580, on 09/01/2008, -3/+5You know that only works in certain articles, right? This isn't one of them.
- inn0cuous, on 09/01/2008, -5/+13Why is Kentucky as dark as California?
- willster580, on 09/01/2008, -3/+2My brain almost exploded from your comment. I was at a loss of thought for a good while.
- sroop, on 09/01/2008, -2/+4Why are people burying him? He has a good question..
- Mononuclear, on 09/01/2008, -2/+5Not sure why people dugg you down. I think it's a very valid question. I didn't know Kentucky had many pirates. Although search data is interesting. I don't know any pirates who use the in program search to find torrents.
- MrPig, on 09/01/2008, -8/+3All the black people eating fried chicken.
- BelatedHero, on 09/01/2008, -2/+1I have no idea. But we have lots of trailer parks here... maybe that has something to do with it. o_0
- DeFex, on 09/01/2008, -3/+15 Hungary has a lot of pirates for a landlocked country
- Zapkiller, on 09/01/2008, -3/+3Did Africa explode? I only see a few islands :O
- flyingclutchman, on 09/01/2008, -0/+73"Azureus seems to be quite popular in Ohio, specifically in Salt Lake City."
Its also really popular in Sweden, specifically Chicago. - rosepleasure, on 09/01/2008, -10/+5The reason that we usually use BitComet in Asia because they're host in China therefore the speed of download is more faster for us.
- SteveMax, on 09/02/2008, -0/+11) Please, pass your comments through some sort of grammar check. Your comment was almost painful to read.
2) The location of a client's server has nothing to do with the download speed when using that client.

- brightshadow525, on 09/01/2008, -11/+1I hate digg.
- 89vision, on 09/01/2008, -4/+10"Azureus seems to be quite popular in Ohio, specifically in Salt Lake City."
Salt Lake City is not in Ohio...- Brandoskey, on 09/01/2008, -2/+3but chicago is in sweden?
- Toadcheese, on 09/01/2008, -6/+2That is totally whacked! Looking at the world map - Norway / Sweeden looks like a big drooping, blue penis. They must not be downloading enough "PRON" (sic) from torrent .
- cap11235, on 09/01/2008, -1/+4Freud might want to study you...
- FighterMaster, on 09/01/2008, -1/+0Promotions much? Thanks to this article, I now know that Google Insights existed. Now we can have a more detailed Google Fight. FY!
On a more serious note, Google Insights is a marketer's wet dream. - ontherockz, on 09/01/2008, -3/+0Oh Yeah
- ontherockz, on 09/01/2008, -3/+3I love google :D
- e6La3BaNo, on 09/01/2008, -5/+2I'm really glad to be in California.
- IpHa, on 09/01/2008, -1/+1Michigan is horribly disfigured in that map. Last I checked the LP doesn't touch Wisconsin...
- chunkydunker, on 09/01/2008, -0/+1According to that map there is no LP... it's just one big blob
- Idrive, on 09/01/2008, -2/+6This article sucked...
- ortucis, on 09/01/2008, -0/+1I don't know why people are complaining about this article's quality. It had everything, just like all Cracked lists: Fans who dugg it, fans who posted there, fans who posted here after getting it to the front page, fans who went back to digg another one up.. and something to do with the title, some stupid blue map groups or something.
- ExiL3, on 09/01/2008, -1/+2Looks like Norwegian users use uTorrent, NICE I LIKE!
- abidomar, on 09/01/2008, -2/+0i use google trends but this one is much more advanced
- LordMonboddo, on 09/01/2008, -0/+2uTorrent would be great, except it only works for PC. Azureus works on Mac. Guess I'm stuck with the slow one.
- minjae0810, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1wow my digg is the 777th!
