Tracker & Torrent Error Messages
 

Trackers can be unpredictable. They sometimes experience very heavy load and because of this the connection to them may be lost or not gained temporarily. If you think the torrent is active but your client is telling you otherwise, it's probably a tracker issue. Just give it a bit of time to see if it sorts itself out first of all. If your client has problems connecting, it will keep on retrying over and over again. Just give it time. If you have given it time or you are getting error messages then have a look at the common BitTorrent error messages seen below for a possible solution.


* Problem connecting to tracker - (10061, "Connection refused")
* Problem connecting to tracker - (10054, 'Connection reset by peer')
* Problem connecting to tracker - (111, 'Connection refused')
* Problem connecting to tracker - (10060, 'Connection timed out')
* Problem connecting to tracker - HTTP Error 503: Connect failed
* Problem connecting to tracker - HTTP Error 404: Not Found

These can appear for a number of reasons. One is that the tracker might be down for a short while (as I mentioned above, this could be for a number of reasons), another is your net connection might be down, or the torrent may no longer be on the tracker (possibly deleted). You could also be banned from the tracker in some cases (for leeching a file).


* Problem connecting to tracker - unregistered torrent pass



This error will occur if you are creating a new torrent and forgot to re-download the .torrent file you uploaded and seed with that one instead of the original one you created. You MUST re-download your attached torrent file and seed with that one.
