Hours before HBO aired "Game of Thrones" Season 6 episode 7 "The Broken Man," an upload hit The Pirate Bay. The leak raised hopes that "GOT" fans without legal access to the series might enjoy live stream of episode 7. However, the file has ever since turned out fake and unexpectedly full of malware.

"Game of Thrones" Season 6 episode 7 torrent, according to Independent UK, "is being shared on The Pirate Bay, but doesn't check out." This somehow confirms that HBO is successful in keeping the lid on leaks that marred episode 5 airing. When one visits TPB, it is evident that a torrent is live on the site and ready for download or stream.

However, clicking the link will only risk users of malware infection in their computers. There are high chances that TPB will soon delete the torrent to keep up with the site operator's policy of nuking reported unsafe contents.

For now, it is not possible to live stream "The Broken Man" outside HBO, as similar torrent sites such as Kickass Torrents will probably avoid hosting, at least the latest "GOT" Season 6 episodes. For those who have visited KAT, you will realize that "GOT" torrents on the sites are outdated one, something that does not come as a surprise since the popular torrent site has recently been complying with takedown requests from HBO.

Fans who are eager to watch "GOT" Season 6 episode 7 have no otherwise but do it legally. According to the same publication, fans can head to HBO cable channel and the online access like HBO GO and HBO Now.

Here is a sneak peek to have a glimpse of "Game of Thrones" Season 6 episode 7 "The Broken Man."
