Researchers at the UK’s University of Birmingham reached the finding at the end of a two-year study into how organisations are monitoring illegal file sharers.
They conclude that large scale monitoring of the most popular illegal downloads from The Pirate Bay has been taking place over the last three years. On average an illegal file sharer, using BitTorrent to download the most popular content, will be picked up and logged within three hours of starting a download. Downloads of more popular files tend to be picked up more quickly
