Despite the increasing interest in content bundling in BitTorrent systems, there are still few empirical studies on the bundling practice in real BitTorrent communities. In this paper, we conduct comprehensive measurements on one of the largest BitTorrent portals: The Pirate Bay. From the torrents data set collected for 38 days from April to May, 2010, we study how prevalent bundling is and how many files are bundled in a torrent, across different types of contents shared: Movie, Porn, TV, Music, Application, E-book, and Game.
