One thing to keep in mind...
You might not be able to connect to a specific peer. That's one of the things about torrenting that drives me batty sometimes. I get this quite often where I hook up to a seed early on & can't hook up to the seed. Then someone comes along & I end up downloading off them & maybe get 5MB (@ best) from the seeder. It doesn't seem right, but I tend to do alright, because I leave my machine running a lot, so I get plenty of seeding in...
One thing to keep in mind is that sometimes leechers will show up (on site & client), when they are incapable of also hooking up, for whatever reason & that's why they sit there for days on end, showing up on your peers list...
Another thing to keep in mind is that Demonoid gets 10+ x's the traffic. It's not uncommon to get 1000+ leechers over the duration of a torrent, whereas here, the average is 100-200 over the duration of the torrent...
