Read what I said, and what the article said. 28 million USERS, not 28 million downloads. USERS. Going by IP address. Your guess of "a few hundred thousand" is so utterly naive as to strain belief. I have seen individual torrents with multiple thousands of downloaders at once. And that isn't a rarity, that is an every day occurrence for fresh episodes of US TV shows and fresh fansubs of Japanese anime shows. Looking at the top recent torrent at (take the words anime and suki, squish them together, put a www at the front and a com at the end) has 2,000 people downloading it
just at this moment. Do you really think that several percent of all downloaders in the world will be downloading a single file at the same time?
