Brians BitTorrent FAQ and Guide : (Category) Troubleshooting Errors and Problems : (Answer) Im getting an error message, what does it mean?
The best thing to do in general if you’re having connectivity problems is just wait. Often trackers are unavailable or slow to respond, usually due to high load or sometimes DDoS attacks. Some torrents can take a while to get up to speed, so patience is a virtue. That being said, below are some common error messages with explanations and what to do about them. Note: Often you will get a red error message when there’s a problem connecting to the tracker, but the client will keep on retrying. This is normal. It can result in the download progressing normally and successfully, even with an error message displayed on the screen. Make sure to note the time-stamp on the error, and if it’s more than 5 to 10 minutes old, you can ignore it. The newer versions of the experimental client “age away” the error messages after 5 minutes to deal with this situation.
