If it has a lot of peers it will download a lot quicker than torrents with only a couple.
But as danny said, just watch off that site. Its very good

I must have a shit internet connection, or I'm using the wrong torrent sites. Albums can take hours to download and movies would take days!

supertorrents is good for speed.
mininova/TPB is ok, but it can be hit and miss with speeds.
a new popular download is always quick.

tbh i would actually rather pay and download a decent quality in sync version on itunes..
also if you leave it 5 mins to download and then play its usually buffered enough to watch all the way through
