Most DVD torrents seeded at TheTradersDen.org are authored for single layer (DVD5) discs. If a particular torrent uses dual layer (DVD9) discs, then it is noted clearly in the torrent description.

If you want your discs to be playable in 3+ years time, then buy a spindle of Taiyo Yuden discs. Burn them at 4X speed (15 minutes to burn a full DVD5 disc). If you're burning dual layered discs, then I've heard good things about the Verbatim line of dvds but I don't have any personal experience using them.
