Use pirate bay or private sites only...
Download/install pear guardian 2 and have it running whenever you are downloading/uploading, or all the time. It will block a lot of websites though...
Download speed is proportional to your upload setting, so be sure to not set it too low...
Seeds/Seeders: Amount of resources IE people uploading, leachers: Amount of downloaders, Trackers: I believe it's what is actually tracking all the file pieces...
Also sometimes it will go slow, you really can't do much about it...just let it sit there and do its thing...

Seeds are people uploadin it, the more seeds the faster it usually is. Leachers are people downloading like you. Not sure what trackers are and to get it to go faster a better internet then dial up would help and setting your upload ratio to unimited helps too i think, although it is prolly already set at that. I personally use azureus but I don't know a lot about torrents, just how to use them etc.

Make sure the port you are using is open (portforward.com).
Don't install Peer Guardian.
Aside from that, I agree with most of the above.

using uTorrent is good. i use it and is very simple.
there are 2 torrent sites i go to.
mininova.org and
torrentreactor.net
seeds are places or servers that are hosting the file. leechers are users like me and you who are downloading that file.
lets say there are 58 seeds and 300 leeches on a torrent of Zelda 2. when you download the torrent and begin downloading the torrent will try to connect to w/e seeds and leechers it gets access to and downloads portions of the file/files that you are downloading. as you download and complete w/e file/files you are downloading it just merges them all together like it was never broken apart.
the thing that helps with torrent on that is lets say you have the beginning portion of this Zelda 2, and other users have the finishing portions and middle portions of the file. while you download those pieces that the other users have, they will or can download w/e portions of the beginning of the file that you have. it's pretty much and true P2P sharing program. the program does those things on it's own so you don't have to worry much about anything.
just do this. if you use a public torrent site like i do, do a search for a CD for instance.
after your search results appear try to find the a group of the same download that are the same size, usually that states that nothing was seriously modified to the file or that it's not coming with viruses.
lets say we do a search for Flo ridas - Low
and 30 torrents appear for the file. lets say the song is normally about 30mb(i know it's excessive)
but you get different size results of
25
26
30
30
31
24
39
30
30
you can see that the majority are 30mb. so naturally you should go with the most common to avoid any issues. the one of 25 could be poor quality, missing pieces for an incomplete file or such. you see one for 39mb, that could be a high quality download that takes up more space, or it could be infected. basically stick with the common size.
now that you can find the common size of a file, look for a high amount of seeders and leechers. why? because you can most likely get your download to download at it's fastest. how? because the torrent will try to connect to as many people to pick up the pieces faster.
though sometimes! just by finding a file that lets say only 4 seeds and 1 leech you could get a faster download just from downloading directly from the servers(seeds) instead of leechers. since most people that leech are mass downloading and uploading which kills their connections upload rate.
since you are using uTorrent a little thing i do to help get my downloads to go faster is i limit my upload rate. i would start a download, then right click on the torrent and set my bandwidth's upload limit to 10kbps. usually my downloads will get pretty high rates while capping the upload because if your upload is set to unlimited at times you'll be downloading shit nothing but uploading up the ***! which will also slow your connection down to shit.
blah blah blah. torrents are easy. just be carefull what you download.

you also want to email screen captures of your completed torrent lists to:
support@fbi.gov
and
support@riaa.org
that helps a lot.

The torrents worth downloading are going to be ripped with EAC and/or AccurateRip and have log files with them, using private trackers also helps out with that as bad files are not usually tolerated //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
