    Default Help for better torrent experience

    I haven't used torrents much. All I know that install Utorrent and find something on Google with torrent extention.

    But I think I am missing something. I have heard there are private trackers or something like that.

    I love to download movied dubbed in Hindi.

    can someone really good at this mind helping me?????????

    For normal cases, what you do is enough. Just download torrent file, use it with utorrent and you are good to go. Things need to be done only if you are getting too low speed compared to the plan speed.

    Private tracker is where you are compelled to seed as much as you download. ie, you should have a healthy ratio if you wish to download torrents from that site again. This ensures that there are enough seeders and there by you get good speed in high speed plans.

    To begin with,

    Mention your ISP, plan, promised speed and the maximum speed you get on torrent.

    private trackers or torrent sites in India are mostly useless since our upload speeds are horrendous.

    You will never be able to maintain a good upload/download ratio from India.

    It's simply better to look for public trackers that don't have any restrictions.

    However remember that all public trackers have a huge number of leechers (people like us that don't upload). This means that recently posted things will just take a lot longer and you will get low speeds.

    Somewhat popular but relatively old (+1 month or more) torrents tend to download the best.

    My ratio is 3 + on some trackers. I have a 512 Kbps connection but not a heavy downloader. If you have an unlimited plan, you can keep ratio to some extent, but not with FUP plans.

    My ISP is BSNL and I got 750ul plan. I get pretty good speed in torrents if there are enough seeders(50-55).

    So what improvement do you expect ? Private trackers help a lot in case you have high speed plans as in case of US downloaders. Even in India, having low no. of seeds affect 2 Mbps above speed users. But for 64 KBps, I am not sure if it will have any serious improvement other than you can find seeds even for an old torrent.
