It's 5.4 million American viewers for the first-run episode versus 5.9 million downloaders from around the world. HBO claims somewhere in the neighborhood of 14+ million viewers total for that episode through repeat showings and on-demand. I'd also expect some of the downloaders probably have an HBO subscription and download a copy for archival purposes until the Blu-ray is available.
Besides, as I mentioned before relatively available shows like Breaking Bad, TWD and US broadcast network shows also show up in the top 10.

Maybe not the average person, but I would think the average person that watches HBO has figured out how to download a torrent.

But HBO's #2 show, True Blood (which until recently drew more viewers) doesn't show up in the top 10.
