But how to choose the best torrent site ? according to my personal experience i listed few points here that we should keep in mind before choosing the correct torrent file before adding it to the torrent client.

Seeders

Even if you have highly tweaked uTorrent client but speed depends on the uploads that the torrent is getting at other end. Always check for higher number of seeders before downloading the torrent. Seeders means number of people or clients feeding your torrent for your download.

Seeders : Leechers [The Ratio]

If uploaders i.e. seeders are less than the downloaders i.e. leechers then how could you get the best speed ? so choose the torrent with proper ratio. Select atleast 1:1 ratio if possible.

The website

Even if you downloaded the best torrent file, if it is not giving speed then there may be problem is site which provides it. Searching for high seeder torrent is not easy but the information about number of seeders must be correct and recent so that the file will give best of its speed. Thats why choosing the best torrent site is important. I listed few best torrent sites check them out.

All above tricks will help you to choose the best torrent file.

Apart from choosing best torrent file, i have few more tricks read them too.

Choosing the best torrent site plays important role to get the maximum speed in your uTorrent client. I am using torrent sites from 4Years this is my personal list of torrent sites on which you can rely for quality torrents and high speed downloads.

Here is my list,
1.Mininova
> Mininova.org is one of the best and trusted site i ever used. The number of seeders and leechers plays important role in download speed. Mininova provides excellent and almost realtime statistics. You can update the statistics yourself [need registration for requesting update] Though for downloading the torrent on Mininova is Free and doesnt need any type of registration or invite code.

2.Demonoid
> Demonoid is (in)famous for its quality downloads. Demonoid was closed after some legal complaints placed against site but now it is running well. Demonoid requires registration and need Invite code for it. but the quality of statistics is excellent and realtime. Demonoid is at second position in my list.

3.The Pirate Bay
> The Pirate Bay is also good site for torrent download, but due to its unwanted adult ads it is not suitable for home use. Though this site also provides good information with torrents.

These three will satisfy your hunger of downloading, but there are many many sites for this purpose. but above listed sites are the best amongst them [according to me]

If suppose i found any other good site, i will add it here.

Now a days most of Pirated movies and softwares are coming first on torrent sites than those made Rapidshare or other direct download sites. Rapidshare many times block many ISP including India’s BSNL. Here according to my personal experience i am sharing few 100% working tricks to increase the download speed of uTorrent.

Choosing the Torrent file

Before tweaking your uTorrent, you must choose the best and healthy torrent file for your speedy downloads. Read my post about Choosing the torrent file for high speed download in any torrent client.

Choosing the correct site for downloading the Torrents

Trackers play much important in speed of your torrent download, so you must choose the torrent download sites perfectly. You can read my list of best torrent sites.

Port forwarding

To achieve the top speed in uTorrent your port must be forwarded. The forwarded port in uTorrent then the status bar in uTorrent will show Green icon. Else it will be exclamation mark.
If it is forwarded then it is fine, else you need to change the port number to get the correct port.Choose a port number greater than 10,000 . Currently i am using port number “43081″ and it is forwarded. Choose any number and check if it is forwarded or not. You can change the port number through clicking on that icon or by pressing “CTRL+G”.

Save your port

Once you got the perfect port number, make sure your option in Option >> Preference >> Connection >> “Randomize port each start” is unchecked.

Tell windows, uTorrent is working for me

Windows firewall may try to block the uTorrent connection with the network, thats why make sure your option in Option >> Preference >> Connection >> “Add windows firewall exception” is checked.

Dont tell your ISP that you are using uTorrent

Many ISP’s block uTorrent downloads, that’s why make sure your option in Option >> Preference >> BitTorrent >> Protocol Encryption is Enabled. This will surely increase your speed.

Hey Firewall, let the flow come in

If you are using any firewall software, add uTorrent in “allowed application” or “allowed programs” so that they will allow uTorrent to work to get maximum speed.

Upload : Download – Ratio

I suggest keep changing the ratio as per speed, i try to keep this ratio at 0.5 i.e. if my download speed us 100KB/ps then i will keep my upload speed near to 50KB/ps. keep changing this speed. NEVER make upload speed to ZERO. Many torrent trackers ban the IPs who do not upload so keep this option atleast close to 50%.

There are many other options in uTorrent, i recommend you dont play with them. They will not affect your speed, but may cause lesser speed problem.

Apart from choosing best torrent file, i have few more tricks read them too.
