The United States ranked third in the number of pirated downloads of the first episode of the sixth season of “Game of Thrones.” They accounted for 8,5 percent of all illegal downloads within 12 hours of the premiere.

Australia was the leader (12,5%), India was second (9,7%), the US was third (8,5%) and the UK was fourth (6,9%).

Half of the users downloaded the series in high quality, which resulted in the failure of torrent trackers.

However, the record for downloading the first series is not broken. The fifth season downloaded over 1,5 a million times in eight hours.
