The speed test

If you are not sure of your download/upload speeds, then visithttp://www.speedtest.net to run a speed test. The defult Server (golden pyramid) works out
most of the time. Or you can select 2 or 3 different server around you to find out the mean result.
Note down the Download and Upload speed including the unit (e.g kbps/mbps); You will
need them later.

Best Trcker List

This tracker list is my personal favorite. This list contain few tracker but works very good. The previous list has much more tracker. More tracker takes more time to update.
Download this tracker list and add them in the torrent properties. Do not replace previous trackers.
