What are Torrent Peers and Seeds??
Torrent is a word derived from word Bit Torrent which is a peer-to-peer files sharing protocol which is also used as file extension. It’s distributing files over the Internet. This protocol is designed by Programmer Bram Cohen in April 2001 and released the July 2 2001.
Peer-A peer is refer to a particular node (A computer like you) which is currently sharing (either uploading or downloading) the data using torrent client. It’s specific for each torrent.
Seed-Seeds are referring to those peers which have 100% of file. So if you have zero (0) seeds than its waste of time to download that torrent.

Second point is choosing the right torrent. If you are using a week torrent with less tracker, seeds and peers than it’s hard to get a good downloading speed. Never download a torrent which has zero (0) seeds. Always download a torrent which have at least one seeds (its minimum) and with maximum peers. Next are trackers, which are also important. Check the properties of your torrent you can find list of trackers.
If you are unable to find the torrent with good seeds and peers than you can increase your seeds and peers of your week torrent by re announcing it refer my post on how to re announce a torrent file/How to Increase seeds and peers of torrent.
If your torrent has less or week trackers, than you can increase your trackers also.

5. Increase the number of Max Half Open TCP connections:
The Max Half Open TCP connections specify that how many connections a torrent client should attempt to establish simultaneously at any given time. Operating Systems like Windows XP-SP2and newer, limits this to a default of 10.As torrents need a large number of simultaneous connections you can increase your torrent downloading speed by changing this figure.
A patch has been available for a while from LvlLord which modifies the TCPIP.sys file in Windows to allow a higher number of TCP connections.
After running the patch, you have to change your torrent client settings also. In uTorrent go to
Options ->Preferences ->Advanced – >net.max_halfopen.
Set any number from 50 to 100.Dont use more than that. Also keep checking TCPIP.sys for cross verifying the number of Max Half Open TCP connections.
