i'll see what i can do, i'll try and get some torrent sites for you,
what it is, is on a torrent a few kbs from your u\l are used to make the whole download for people downloading the same thing at the same time, meaning the busier the better, i got 250kbs downloading the SW:ep3 trailer.

i think. i've been smoking, dont quote me on that.

yes sharing is a big part in bit torrent.. cause the files them selfs are not hosted on the sites its other people that upload them so people can download them then upload them to other people and so and so forth

for a bit torrent application go to http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

and for bit torrent sites .. go to .. www.btsites.tk


but remeber p2p ( Peer 2 Peer) network relies on other people uploading as much as they downloaded hence why its call file sharing

the speed u download depends on the speed of 3 things

1.Speed of ur inter net...
2. speed of which people are uploading the file.. some people only upload at 10kb/s

3. which ports u have forwarded..
