As a title says i want to know how to make transaction go faster for example i made this transaction http://blockchain.info./tx/205306a104864d1a13daa91edcbbefa9d2559f18e1dd290496c83bdbb9c5251d and it sayed that it will confirm within 6 blocks but it didn't confirmed after 6 blocks i send the transaction from my bitcoin qt 0.8.6 client so any ideas how to make it go faster?

Pay a fee of at least 0.0001 BTC per kilobyte. Problem solved.

Don't mess around with raw transactions if you don't know what you're doing.  The user interface prevents you from doing silly things like this.

If next time i send it again with 0 fee but i would send like 0.011 how much faster it would be than a 0.008 and yes i am sure that this was 0.8.6 i just send it through debug window(raw transaction).

It would be good to mention that first the next time you have problems.   Don't use raw tx if you don't know what you are doing.  The client prevents you from making this type of tx for this exact reason.  Raw tx has no checking, it assumes you know what you are doing and submits exactly what you create.

You need to mature your 0.011 for over 80 days (around 12000 confirmations) for it to officially qualify for a zero free transaction. Any sooner you are just trying your luck.

Your 0.008btc was only 1 day old when you send it without a fee. It is lower than the small transaction threshold of 0.01btc. Luckily it was only 192bytes. I would wait for 48hours and hope it confirms on its own.

If not, you may have to use pywallet to remove the transaction from wallet.dat and send it again with a 0.0001btc fee.
I am not sure this transaction is going to be complete because without fees its not work and its must back after 48 hours

Are you sure you used QT client v0.86?  If so you should post a bug report because the v0.86 of QT client should not have sent that without a fee.  It will be included whenever a miner decide to do it for free.  That could be next block or next month.

You can include fees to process faster ... but only for next transactions.
Now you have to wait for this one.

Not sure how did your QT sent that transaction with 0 fees, but it will take alot time to get confirmations as priority is low and output is also less than 0.01.
