Post-apocalyptic horror film '28 Years Later' is doing well at the box office, with $100 million in revenue in its first two weeks. The latest installment in the horror franchise also renewed interest in the previous films, with '28 Weeks Later' showing up in various streaming charts. The original '28 Days Later' is less widely available due to licensing issues, so many have turned to pirate sites instead.

Oh yeah, I started seeding it when there was a surge of people wanting to rewatch it before the new one and it wasn't on streaming sites yet. Easily my biggest ratio, nearly 2000 ratio now.

I started writing this comment about how my highest seeding ratios seem random, but actually now that i look at it i do see a pattern: YIFY versions of older movies. Maybe those are the ones less available? Some possibly are public domain?
