You want more seeders than leechers ideally.

Next, will it be slower if say 10 000 people have downloaded it over 1000 and can there be viruses included if lots of people have downloaded?

Normally if there are a large amount of people that have downloaded a file its normally safer and it does not affect the speed.

What are the risks of getting a virus? Could I be able to tell myslef or are there tell tale signs?

Well on other torrent sites like isohunt the top downloads normally have green for it being given a good rating and red for bad rating. I have never come across a virus but i suppose you just know if it looks a dodgy file and make sure you have your anti virus software on.

What size should a roughly 1hr video be, and will it take ages to download?

Depends on your interenet connection for me it would take around 1 - 2hours but thats being on a very fast connection.
Thanks for that Xander!

+ Karma when I can add again lol
