Yep movies and porn FTW!

It's what you would expect :)

I'm surprised only 2 out of the top 20 are porn.

Porn seems unpopular.

Which is the most interesting part of this top 100 I would say. Still quite some people searching for it ofcourse but way less then I expected.

Blame tubes!!!!

torrents are on their way out anyway.

well porn covers more ground for them then say movies
they seek out specific movie names...and then just seek out porn for whatever is available

Exactly, specific titles are more common on torrents than generalized searches.

they're all just time shifting

We use Motion not shifting.

nothing new...
but what's interesting is that more searches are made for movies than for porn...

I can't believe that in 2010 people search torrents for keywords like "xxx" and "porn", it's like going to google and searching for the keyword "stuff".
I saw a stat some months ago for a large albeit local p2p (non torrent) network, and it actually looked very different. People were searching for porn, of course, but with very specific keywords. (It was VERY interesting.)

can you name one porn dvd title you would want to download? I can't...
you search for "xxx" then sort by popularity to see what's good/popular... :2 cents:

I don't... I search for 'anal lesbians with big tits' or 'midget gangbangs' or ... specific stuff... or at least 'lesbian' or 'midget' or 'gangbang', but never 'xxx'.

its a breakdown of keywords, like 'dvdrip' they dont look for just that but in combination with a title. Dvdrip is just a keyword part of many phrases. Just like xxx. Lesbian xxx for example is a part of xxx. Just like how the google keyword tool default results work.
