It appears that you do NOT understand what torrents are.

Torrents themselves are tiny files, maybe 1 or 2KB in size. They are pointers to the actual files on TorrentSpace. As they are so small, it doesn't matter how fast you download them.

TorrentSpace is coordinated by Trackers, which knows where the pieces of a file are.

When you download a file pointed to by a torrent (i.e. download a torrent), you are actually talking to the tracker for that information. Your torrent client then talks to the other computers that has the pieces and assembles the complete file, after a long while.

As you never know where the pieces are (could be in the same city, or somewhere on the other side of the world), there's no such thing as "fastest torrent site". Your client will negotiate for the fastest connection, enough said.

Being the "fastest" only has to do with the type of connection to the internet you have. Faster connection, faster upload/download rates. As for torrent clients, I usually hear that regular BitTorrent is best for downloading torrents with little problems.
But as I said, it's all based around the connection speed of your computer, with something like dial-up, it's worthless. DSL or wireless is needed for it to be effective. The only other part that determines speed of download is the seeder to downloader ratio. If there aren't any seeders, it isn't likely to go fast until it picks some up.
That being said, seeders and connection I guess are the only things that determine speed.
