Righteous Kill may not have slayed at the box office, but the DeNiro/Pacino combo was enough to shoot the cop movie to the top of the most downloaded movies on BitTorrent, according to TorrentFreak. Other newcomers include the A&E TV movie The Andromeda Strain and the bawdy comedy College. Superheroes are still holding on strong with Hulk, Iron Man and The Dark Knight still in the top ten.

Over at Video Breakout’s Cool 100 list, Hulu jumped into the No. 2 slot, but it was TI who made the biggest leap, hopping 45 places to break the top 5. Summer music sensation Katy Perry got a nice bump in traffic while web video stars Smosh made their way on to the list.
