A few notes on speeding up torrent downloading:
There's a nifty little tool called BEncode Editor (by uTorrent developer Ultima) available at
http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=31306, which you simply unzip, open the
BEncode Editor.exe file, then drag and drop your torrent file into the GUI. In the expanded list of elements, you will see "announce," "announce-list," "created by," etc., and sometimes you will see "url-list." This last one is your webseed paydirt, in other words, someone has made the effort to upload your favorite Freddie Mercury boot to one or more storage sites.
An example of a webseeded torrent is Jacob Druckman's "ANIMUS III" "(flac.torrent" file) in the "FAST" column at
http://www.archive.org/download/agp04/agp04.htm.
Download, drag and drop that torrent file into the GUI of BEncode Editor and have a look at the "url-list" element. In it, you will see a list of webseeds (URLs to various storage sites). Note for each site there is a corresponding "coblitz.codeen.org" prefix. This prefix engages the Large File Transfer Service at Princeton, further enhancing speed.
A final and perhaps most important note: activate encryption in your bittorrent client's settings, or the crybaby ISP will throttle your speed. (They might anyway, but in this case, you should seriously seek another provider). Lastly, uTorrent and BitComet are pretty damn good clients. The rest? Meh.
