How to choose a torrent file?

Bittorrent offers more choice to download anything, ranging from video, audio, ebook, etc., almost everything are available in sites tracking torrent files such as thepiratebay.org (this one is my favorite). From my experience, to choose a certain torrent file, we must consider several things first. As we have known all along, if we search certain video in bittorrent tracker as Pirate Bay, then there will be many torrents available for a video file we want. We must choose one of them carefully to get fast download and good quality files.

  • First, try to choose a file with more seeder than other files, remember bittorrent logics that more downloader means faster download. Please consider comments on that file, usually good files receive positive comments. Be careful if there is comment about Trojan, bad quality file, and as such, try compare all of comments on that file and then conclude it afterward yourself. If we able to conclude wisely, then there is greater chance that we would get good torrent file resulting in faster download and good downloaded files.
  • If you try to download video, try to look first to release date of home video of that movie, the release date of home video of a movie is available in IMDB or wikipedia. Good movie is always a good rip from released DVD or Blu-ray, so if a torrent file is claimed containing good movie file ripped from DVD before DVD or Blu-Ray release, it is almost absolutely to be fake, it can be a camera recording from a cinema, absolutely bad in audio and picture. Unless its uploader got a leaked video secretly from filmmaker.
  • Generally, more seeder will cause faster download, but this is not always the case. Sometimes, I got slower torrent even if it had many seeders, I even got faster torrent even if there are less seeder than other torrent files. I didn’t know what the exact causes are, but I suspected that it also always depends on speed of seeder internet connection. If there are many seeders with slow connection, then considerably less seeder torrents with fast connection may surpass torrent files with more seeder.
There are no exact rules about how to choose a torrent files, we can conclude many rules for ourselves based on our own experience. It would be good too if we compare torrent files and then choose the best of them.
