1. is there a way (using mods/special settings...) to speed up downloading from public trackers by picking (testing their upload speed first?) only fast uploaders and discarding/disconnecting slow ones and keeping them connected (uploading) as long as possible?
This would be good for large swarms where you get connected to a small percentage of peers even though there may be better uploaders out there; lets say by using some sort of testing/fast switching between peers to maximize your download. Maybe this requires spoofing in order to stay connected to these 'good' peers if this statement is correct:
Peers will only be willing to give data to you if you give data to them
Usually the situation is: i get connected to say 20 peers and maybe 5 of them send data, others just do some checking/brief connects and stay visible in the peer list but don't upload any significant amount of data; it would be good to just discard them fast and start searching for new ones
2. is there a way to do selective scheduling for torrents?
The utorrent scheduler is global and works for all active torrents, but how about to schedule just a few torrents (as there are trackers that give freeleech at certain time of a day) so that you make them download at max during freeleech time and at or close to zero the rest of the time; without affecting torrents from other trackers. I would say it can be done by using another client just for these torrents but then this client can't be used for anything else.
