I thought of sharing something with the readers. Its obviously a old news for many! but It is useful for all those who feel that their torrents is slow. Recently I had upgraded my net to BSNL UL-750 unlimited data transfer and is also very slow in torrents. So I started searching for an alternative for it and finally found an interesting and good one.
Imageshack is website generally used to upload images, many might know about it. but it has launched a torrent drive too - Imageshack Torrent Drive
You just upload a .torrent file to its image drive and it will download the torrent for you in its server and saves in the image drive alloted to you,
after completion you can directly download the torrent using your regular download manager, like any other files from internet, from image drive.
Steps :
1. It requires you to register for an account at imageshack.us.
2. After Registering, LogIn and Go to Imageshack Torrents’ Home.
3. You can either upload a .torrent file from your computer or else provide the URL to the .torrent file. Click GO
4. That’s it. Now, Imageshack starts torrenting for you and you may shut the computer and have a good night’s sleep.
5. Nothing is downloaded to your computer, NOW.
6. When you check back, it might be finished or else you can see the status of the given torrent download.
7. In the torrents’ homepage, you get to control torrenting, like, Start, Stop, Download, Delete etc.
8. Clicking on “Download” will take you to a file listing page.
9. If you are downloading a torrent with many sub-files, you can download the individual files in the order of finishing. That means, if your torrent contains 50 files and only 25 of them are finished at the time you check, you can download those 25 files individually while the torrenting proceeds in the background.
The free users will be given a 5gb of disk space to store the downloaded torrents which is reusable upon deletion of data But the monthly download bandwidth is restricted to 10gb.
-----------------------
I had also found two small hacks in this free service.
1. You can increase your space and bandwidth by opening fakes.
2. There is a problem here which is the torrent download service is first offered to premium users and if there is any bandwidth left free users can use it But when any one of you get the message that there is no free user limit then you can start refreshing the page (use auto refresh addon in firefox) until it starts the torrent Download.

Posted by SoMeOnE at 12:53 AM Labels: Computers, Tips, uTorrent, Websites, WindowsEven after you tweaked your uTorrent for higher speed using Port Forward method, if your torrent is not good then how you can get the maximum speed ? Choosing the best torrent site plays important role to get the maximum speed in your uTorrent client. I am using torrent sites from 4Years this is my personal list of torrent sites on which you can rely for quality torrents and high speed downloads.
Here is my list,
1.Mininova
> Mininova.org is one of the best and trusted site i ever used. The number of seeders and leechers plays important role in download speed. Mininova provides excellent and almost realtime statistics. You can update the statistics yourself [need registration for requesting update] Though for downloading the torrent on Mininova is Free and doesnt need any type of registration or invite code.
2.Demonoid
> Demonoid is (in)famous for its quality downloads. Demonoid was closed after some legal complaints placed against site but now it is running well. Demonoid requires registration and need Invite code for it. but the quality of statistics is excellent and realtime. Demonoid is at second position in my list.
3.The Pirate Bay
> The Pirate Bay is also good site for torrent download, but due to its unwanted adult ads it is not suitable for home use. Though this site also provides good information with torrents.
These three will satisfy your hunger of downloading, but there are many many sites for this purpose. but above listed sites are the best amongst them [according to me]
If suppose i found any other good site, i will add it here.
How to choose the Best Torrent to Download ?
Choosing healthy torrent file is always important to get maximum speed in your torrent client. But how to choose the best torrent site ? according to my personal experience i listed few points here that we should keep in mind before choosing the correct torrent file before adding it to the torrent client.
SEEDERS :
Even if you have highly tweaked uTorrent client but speed depends on the uploads that the torrent is getting at other end. Always check for higher number of seeders before downloading the torrent. Seeders means number of people or clients feeding your torrent for your download.
SEEDERS : LEECHERS [THE RATIO]
If uploaders i.e. seeders are less than the downloaders i.e. leechers then how could you get the best speed ? so choose the torrent with proper ratio. Select atleast 1:1 ratio if possible.
THE WEBSITE :
Even if you downloaded the best torrent file, if it is not giving speed then there may be problem is site which provides it. Searching for high seeder torrent is not easy but the information about number of seeders must be correct and recent so that the file will give best of its speed. Thats why choosing the best torrent site is important.
I listed few best torrent sites check them out.
All above tricks will help you to choose the best torrent file.
