Is there a way to search for higher quality downloads when using torrents.. I have 6Meg service but it seems no matter what i try to download to bittorrent it DL 's at 30-40 instead of 300-400.. Im getting the files off of thepiratebay , is there anything that is a better client to use as far as speed goes??

 
Your download speed greatly depends on the seeder's upload speed. If one person is giving a file to 1000 people its obviously going to go slow. Also you need to open ports for your torrent client for them to increase.

thanks, i just started working with torrents yesterday, but is there anything else i need to know, like.. What files not to download what to look for ( seeder, leecher ) or anything else ?? open ports ... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif ..... ?? Sorry man i know im in the bottom 2 % of people who havent actually use torrents already .

 
The better the seeder to leecher ratio the better(4 seeders to 1 leecher is very good). There is alot to know about torrents, as in private and public trackers, keeping a good ratio etc etc. Just remember the more seeders and less leechers the better. Also on opening ports you need to know the type of router/model number it is and I can help you open em for your client. What are you using to download torrents anyways? (Utorrent, Bitcomet, Bitlord...)

 
If you're trying to download old stuff or non-popular stuff a lot of times it'll just go slow no matter what, because there's not going to be many seeds for the file(s). There's really no possible way to make it faster, it all depends on seeds.

 
im using thepiratebay right now and sending them to bittorrent to download..i downloaded a taylor swift cd that caught my eye in this threadjust to try it.. everything worked out good exept for the fact that i dont know how do burn the whole cd other than sending them all to itunes, one by one.. There in My Documents> Bittorrent downloads..

gotcha so the better ( and higher ) seeds which are im assuming like users for limewire with a lower leecher rate is best.. Im just worried about gettin a nasty virus or something.. I dont DL any **** or vids in general for that matter ( the gf would make sure my balls never worked again , unless she was watchin em w me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif )

 
Nero rules for CD burning, and try using a different client that you can customize more. I suggest Utorrent, just the best to use right now.
ok well heres the deal.. My mom bought me nero ultra 7 for my bday, but i see you can DL it.. Should i do that or should i run the actual nero software.. And ill try utorrent now

 
The standalone is a single executable file you can store wherever you want, the install actually puts files on in your C:\Program Files folder to store the app.
