A look at the downloading habits in Vatican City reveals some interesting viewing choices.

Do pirates go to hell? It's a question that a few denizens of Vatican City might be asking themselves after TorrentFreak revealed the downloading habits of everyone's favourite landlocked city state.

With a population of just over 800, Vatican City isn't exactly in world's top 10 downloaders, but that doesn't mean that they don't know their way around a BitTorrent client.

TorrentFreak's quick investigations showed that a Vactican City IP address has downloaded a few movies (such as Love Actually), one or two TV shows (including Touch and Chicago Fire), but also a few porn titles.

We'll avoid going into any real details on the titles — you can see them in the images and use your favourite search engine for any further information you might require — but suffice to say, we don't think they'll be on the pope's Netflix stream any time soon.
