Browse through all the forums. I would start with the bittorent section. In due time you'll have more then enough info.

Pay attention to the private tracker rules.
Some of them use custom ones, regarding seed time, freeleeching and such.
Also, read the FAQs (you can find the button on the main menu of each tracker) because you can find usefull information about user classes and their benefits, ratio stats, etc.
