One Piece - The most download TV series in the world

I just came across this information recently and did a bit of follow up and research. I would just like to know what people think of this and their reactions.


According to Big Champagne, One Piece is the most downloaded TV series in the WORLD via BT on the week ending July 4th, 2008. Download volumes are calculated based swarm sizes, swarm speeds and file sizes of a series including all episodes/seasons, variations on a GLOBAL scale to reflect the GLOBAL popularity.

Further followup shows that as of the week ending July 24th, 2008. One Piece is still sitting pretty at the top spot and has been for 4 straight weeks since the week of June 30th when it moves for 4th to 1st. It is also the only anime that crack the top 20 on thier list for those 4 weeks.

I also did a little research on the company, Big Champagne is an well known internet traffic researching company that mainly known for it music trafficking and bussiness marketing research. Their reports used by music/movie industry in monitoring music/movie piracy. Reports are avalible to bussinesses for purchase and are partners to OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), Forrester, Harvard University, etc. So research result should be pretty legit it taking all context into account and see it as what it is.
