How To Speed Up Torrents with Low Seeders

Here’s a ridiculously easy tip to squeeze out as many users as you can on a dead or dying torrent. It’s particularly handy when a torrent stops near the end, and/or the seed count is listed as zero. Having said that, I’ve also noticed that it helps to increase download speeds from healthy torrents, as well.
NOTE: Do not attempt this trick with private torrents - it’ll only get you banned from the tracker. Use this tip with torrents you find at isohunt, thepiratebay, etc.

How it works:

Simple. Just copy/paste this list of public trackers into your torrent’s tracker list.

http://www.sumotracker.org/announce

Applying the trackers to uTorrent:

In particular, this is a ‘µTorrent-compatible’ list, so that’s where I’ll show the example.
Open µTorrent, and right-click on the suspiciously-slow torrent. Select "Properties…".
In the first window box, the "General" tab should be open, and there should already be a list of existing trackers (or perhaps just one). ‘Copy’ the list from above, and ‘paste’ them into the window.
You should now be left with what looks like this (see below). Be sure to click "OK" to save the changes.
While you’re at it, make sure that “Enable DHT” and “Peer Exchange” have checks in them, too. Now, if there are ANY public users on that torrent, you’ll be sure to find them.

Download Just anything

To download any free game or software is very easy just search on Google but an easier method is just go on to the following websites:
http://www.chip.de/downloads/
http://download.cnet.com/windows/

And now for the softwares and games which are not free


First of all just download 
uTorrent, BitComet, or any other Bittorrent Client
Then just go to any of the following sites and download anything ulike(softwares, games, movies, etc.).

1. Torrent Funk

Torrent Funk is new to this list. The site does not display user ratings of torrents, and it can be difficult to discern which are the sponsored ads and which are the actual torrent links.  But the site layout is pleasing, the cross-movie recommendations are very helpful, and multiple About.com readers have strongly recommended Torrent Funk.  Give this site a try, and watch if it will grow over time.

2. Demonoid

Demonoid is the benchmark private torrent site. All other private P2P communities compare themselves to Demonoid, and even with the massive competition, Demonoid still remains a top site in the eyes of downloaders everywhere. If you successfully get a registered membership at Demonoid, do not abuse it. Thousands of people are happy to take your spot if you do not share files and maintain your requisite ratio.

3. Torrent Root

Torrent Root is another metasearch engine, Torrent Root will pore through other search engines on your behalf, and display the results in a slick tabbed interface for your easy browsing.
May 2010 warning: some users have gotten malware infections from downloads at Torrentroot.  The administrators there are poring through their torrents to identify how the infections happened.

4. Kick Ass Torrents

Kick Ass Torrents is a new favorite site with a growing community. The interface is a distinctive earth color, and the search results display in a useful format of columns, including torrent health. The best part of Kick Ass Torrents is their comment and feedback system... the user community watches the quality of torrents, and offers their recommendations and warnings.

Kick Ass Torrents could become a very big player in the P2P world of 2010. Check these folks out, and let's see if they grow in user size.

5. Diamond Torrents

New: Diamond Torrents: this private torrent search service has been repeatedly recommended by About.com readers lately. The community and staff at Diamond seem to be very supportive of new members, and while the site itself is a bit counter-intuitive to search, it does offer a solid base of older and more-obscure movies. Try signing up for Diamond Torrents, and let us know what you think.

6. Isohunt

April 2010: Isohunt.com is now offering a revised service under the name 'Isohunt Lite'.  The CRIA has compelled Isohunt to change its ways, or else be prosecuted for secondary copyright infringement.  Accordingly, Isohunt Lite is formatted to be a form of 'Web-wide torrent Google', but with the sorting, ranking, and user rating features of Isohunt.com.  Read all the details at the Isohunt Lite web page above.
Simultaneously, Isohunt.com is also available at an asian domain name, 'Isohunt.hk'.

7. Fenopy

Fenopy has some compelling features. Fenopy is fully integrated with IMDB and Last.fm radio, so it has some friendly methods for browsing and discovering movies and music. A graphics gallery of large and motivating thumbnails adorns the home page, and the fake finder feature is also very useful for avoiding bad files. Definitely give Fenopy a try.

8. Entertane

Entertane is a "metasearch" engine. This means: it searches other search engine results, but present the results in a single screen for easy browsing. And Entertane does a slick job of providing eight other result sets in a convenient tabbed browsing format.

9. Cinema Torrents

CinemaTorrents.com offers something really unique: IMDB ratings and vote information right on the search page. You can see public opinions on the movie itself before you download.

10. VCDQ

VCDQ.com is a new site here. This isn't even technically a torrent site... rather, it is a verification site that employs a committee of serious users to confirm that torrents do indeed exist for what you are seeking. Ideal for movie fans who want to verify if a new release is available for torrent download, VCDQ.com will indeed tell you if legitimate torrent files have been found and verified for that particular movie. You just need to copy-paste the torrent names and use a torrent search engine like Isohunt.com to locate the seeds. Definitely give VCDQ.com a try; this is a great resource for avoiding fake torrent files and finding true files faster.

11. The Pirate Bay

News Announcement, April 18, 2009: the Stockholm district court has sentenced the four Pirate Bay founders to a year in prison, and over $USD 3.5 million in fines. This is as punishment for violating their country's copyright laws. More on this shocking court ruling here...

12. Meganova/SeedPeer

Meganova, which has been rebranded as "SeedPeer", seems to be slow to load these days. Nevertheless, readers have commented that they like this site. New visitors should note the "keyword cloud" wall of text on the home page (this cloud gives you a quick sense of what are popular search phrases lately).

13. Zoozle

This German downloader site has some slick features you won't find on other torrent sites. It lets you search eMule, Rapidshare, and UseNet. It also searches for subtitles, lyrics, serial numbers, and cracks. Definitely keep your eye on Zoozle as it continues to develop its services.

14. Flixflux

Flixflux is a United Kingdom torrent site that is very popular with European downloaders.

15. ExtraTorrent

ExtraTorrent is a crammed-looking site, and yes, it has popup advertising that can be annoying. BUT: this cluttered site also offers some really packed information that many users will appreciate:  the torrents have movie plot summaries, photos of the actors, user comments on the stories, names of the users who verified the torrent, and visual crosslinks to similar movies.  I personally like that ExtraTorrents features some really obscure gems in the left column... a very helpful feature for real movie and TV buffs looking to discover new shows.

16. IPtorrents

IPtorrents is an exclusive torrent site that accepts only people who are personally invited by existing members. Members who invite leechers ("cheaters") are banned from the site, which promotes a careful loyalty amongst its members.

17. BTjunkie

BTjunkie is a solid torrent service for many reasons: it has a massive database, it offers torrent email updates of new additions, Twitter updates, and useful reporting and comment features.

18. Torrent Pond

Torrentpond.com has been recommended by several users this spring of 2010.  As a meta-searcher, Torrentpond will scour other sites for you, atempt to filter out old and fake torrents, and then offer you an easy-to-browse list.  It also showcases recent torrents, which is a good feature for regular downloaders. The advertising is plentiful, and you will need to tune it out and go around some popups, but the thorough searches are often worth it.

19. BiteNova

Formerly known as “Bi-Torrents”, BiteNova is a free Torrent site with a spartan look and fast searching format.

20. Linux Tracker

User mcangeli has recommended this linux-focused site.  Linuxtracker.org offers more linux and OSS torrents than nearly all of its current competition. If you are a linux and open source software fan, give Linuxtracker.org a try.

21. yourbittorrent.com

This site is simple and clean, with almost no advertising.  The results are fast, easy to scan, and plentiful.  You have to love a simple and straightforward service that delivers convenient and quick results... like yourbittorent.com delivers for downloaders.

22. ShareReactor

ShareReactor is a search engine for both bit torrents and eDonkey 2000 ("ed2k") file formats. While eDonkey is not nearly as popular today as it was in 2002, some people still use ed2k networking.

23. Torrentz

Special thanks to reader, Jonathan R., for this recommendation. The "verified" filtering feature of this site makes it a good choice for downloaders.

24. Vertor

This torrent service claims to filter out bad torrents, viruses, DRM locks, passwords, and fakes. Many readers are pleased with Vertor, and thus far their service has been exemplary. Definitely give Vertor a try.

25. Torrent Tree

Gary and his team of P2P programmers bring us a new site in Ajax code language. Like any metasearch engine, Torrent Tree pulls its results from many other search engines. But Torrent Tree pulls *more* search results than any other current metasearch site. Definitely give these new players a try.
