the more seeders versus leechers the better....so 100 seeders and 10 leechers is going to download faster then 100 seeders and 60 leechers...if thats not your problem then it may be hit or miss, or maybe out of 100 seeders you are downloading for 24 of them and then 7 of them go offline or stop seeding the torrent that will slow your download rate until you connect to more seeders.

if your looking for torrents will a lot of seeders i would try http://www.thepiratebay.org
its a little more user friendly. If you are looking for movies make sure you know your vocab and read user feedback

EDIT:
Movie quality vocab:

Cam- bootleg video camera action usually the poorest quality a/v
TS(telesync)- filmed with a better camera usually from the projection booth and with an audio jack interface, better then CAM but not by much
dvdrip- usually a ripped copy of a dvd or a early release screener

ETC...if you want to learn more follow the link http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2006/08/7331/
