what tends to work better is...not using bitcomet and get yourself a proper client that respects the bittorrent spec.
If there are a thousand seeders...well...thats a lot of seeders.
If you mean leechers...for the things I download that actually have that many leechers, there are usually 1-30 or so seeders because by the time it gets to be more than that...I am done with the download and not paying attention to how many seeders there are (I am one...so I dont need to connect to the other ones).
