Someone couldn't hold on to their jammies long enough. 2K Games' BioShock (also coming to Xbox 360) demo for the PC hit BitTorrent long before the official channels could snip the red ribbon. Although this isn't a real surprise to the people who call the Internet their second home, it has opened opportunities for other avid uploaders and free download sites, granting downloaders a good collection of sources to select.

The BioShock PC demo weighs in at 1.84 GB of data and is currently seeded by 662 (or so) BitTorrent users. Compared to 6,700 downloaders, however, that's a really small number of sources to leech from. Everyone's trying to jump the gun, hoping to get the demo earlier before the really heavy queueing begins when the demo officially releases.

The early lead is soon going to get cut short, however. Time continues to tick down to the prime hour while those packets trickle in through your LAN port, so players who can't seem to squeeze their way through the seeds might have to settle for the usual limited bandwidth downloads. It'll probably be out the same time Midway's Stranglehold PC demo is out, too.

Feedback from gamers of souped up rigs place the BioShock demo as one hot item to grab, and if you've got a capable system, you might want to give it a try. You'll just have to look for that Torrent site providing the leaked BioShock demo though. Happy hunting!
