Here are some bittorrent tips. (Ignore those that have been posted XD)
If you're using a router, make sure you forward the ports used for bittorrent.
Configure your bittorrent client properly, by not going over the limit as to what your connection can withstand. If there are a lot of global connections to your PC and your internet cannot handle it, you'll simply be disconnected.
Don't use bittorrent in a public place such as Public wi-fi zones, hotels, airports, etc. You'll probably be kicked out due to high bandwidth usage. (Unless you have acquired a private IP)
Scan everything you downloaded before opening it.
If you're downloading a large file, prepare some snacks, and watch a few movies 
As courtesy to the others still downloading the same file, please continue to seed after you download it. Don't be a leecher (Someone who downloads but does not contribute back). Seed to at least 1% of the sharing ratio (means that you have seeded that same file to someone else).
You're probably gonna ask, "How do I seed?"
Answer: When you're done downloading a file, just leave your BT client open. You automatically seed a file when it's finished downloading.
