I heard about people pirating this. Seriously sad.

According to some quick math they did, around 25% of the downloads were pirates.
They posted some theories why, and some are pretty understandable like:

Some users may want to share the bundle with their friends, and decide that it's easier to just make one donation for a larger amount than it is to make separate gift donations.

Some users may live in countries where none of our three processors (PayPal, Google Checkout, and Amazon) are accepted. These users might pay if they could, but they feel that they have no choice but to search for shared copies.

The other reasons were bullshit, like being too lazy or sticking it to the man(it's for charity for Christ's sake).
Pretty surprising. Plus apparently one IP downloaded a little over 10 gb of a package thats about 800 mb. If it wasnt a proxy, whoever it was was an idiot. Given that it's the same IP,they are probably on the same network(unless it's a proxy) and local network transfers would of been the most reasonable choice>.<
