Found dis info in a forum and i think that it addresses to almost all the errors faced while using a bittorrent client. Any addition to this would be appreciated ...
..Here it goes !!
Bad Data from Tracker or Bad Tracker Data
This means the tracker is having problems.
Either it is down and returning and error page, or is overloaded with requests.
Simply leave your client on for a while and see if the problem resolves it self.
'Connection refused : ......' or <Urlopen error (10061, 'Connection refused")>
This means that you cannot for whatever reason establish a connection to the Tracker needed to download a file.
This is commonly caused by firewalls/routers, trackers/servers going down or being too busy, or your net connection going down.
You may also be banned from using this tracker either for leeching from it.
More often than not with this error you can simply leave your client window open and it will sort itself out, or you can close the BT Client and try resuming the torrent.
If the problem is persisting make sure the Tracker you wish to connect is operating, and make sure your firewall/router is not interfering with TCP traffic on the BT ports.
If after a few days your download still does not start or continue and you have correctly configured your environment, then you can safely assume the tracker is gone.
Connecting to peers
Maybe there are no users to connect to. Leave your torrent open and maybe the bittorrent client will connect (it may take some time).
Windows cannot find "C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR LOGGED IN NAME HERE>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.ie5.....
It is an error that can sometimes occur in Windows XP; either download the torrent to your Hard Drive and launch it from there.... or clear out your temp internet files that will generally resolve the issue (XP starts compresses temporary internet files once it reaches certain number of files or 1/2 the allotted drive space and that's what causes the error).
Just let the torrent run in your client and the client will keep checking the tracker and should resume eventually.
No space left on device
The client allocates the space needed to store the file on your Hard Drive, you get this error when you don't have enough space on your hard drive for your bittorrent client to fully allocate the file.
Problem getting response info - [errno2] No such file or directory
The directory of C: /// is probably causing your problems; it's most likely a temporary directory that Internet Explorer uses when you left click on the torrent file. Try right clicking on the .torrent and selecting "save target as" . Then save the .torrent file to a directory of your choice. Keep them all in a folder exclusively for your torrents and your life will be much easier. Then when you start your bittorrent client and you're ready to download the files you can navigate to that folder and double click on the .torrent file to start downloading in your bittorrent client.
(IOError - [Errno13] Permission denied)
Sometimes your bittorrent client is still running in the background from your last session, and if you start more than one instance of the client, it will try to download the same torrent twice, and it will give you permission denied, startup Task Manager and close down all instances of your bittorrent client. Start your bittorrent client again and everything should work fine.
Rejected by tracker - Your IP is not registered to use this tracker for this file
You have to register with the site that hosts this Tracker and be logged in when you first start the torrent downloading.
Problem connecting to tracker: HTTP Error -1
Leave your torrent running in your client. The client will keep checking the tracker and it should resume eventually.
Problem connecting to tracker - <urlopen error (10055, 'No buffer space available')>
A lot of routes in your routing table (due to a misconfigured router, or misconfigured default route)
Or lots of stale connections in your connection table
Or a lot of data that is pending for sending or receiving on a current connection(s), which can't be sent or received for some reason (destination System dead or unreachable, for example).
Or opening too many sockets at the same time.
Or maybe you don't have enough free space on your hard drive.
Problem connecting with tracker - (10054,'Connection reset by peer')
This occurs when an established connection is shut down for some reason by the remote computer, just ignore it.
Problem connecting to tracker. HTTP error 503: service unavailable
Have you tried using TorrentSpy to check on the tracker's status? Maybe the tracker is down for a rest or something bad happened
Piece XXX failed hash check, re-downloading it
Bittorrent downloaded a wrong packet, so it's redownloading it, just ignore it.
Upload failed: The tracker that hosted your torrent is listed as 'dead'!
It wouldn't surprise me if they were all full.
If your site had to temporarily shut down the trackers, everyone has gone to the other trackers for now.
MsgCode: xxxxxxxxx ::add_torrent::dead_tracker::395
That errors pretty straight forward. The tracker you are trying to use is currently not available.
Just because you used it before doesn't mean it's working today.
It's currently down for whatever reason; I don't know why it's down.
To solve this issue you either have to find a different tracker, one that is up right now.
Or just wait and see if that one comes back.
\"Error on Line xx\" or \"Cannot execute free Script\"
Do you have any ad blocking software running? Some firewalls like NIS and Agnitum Outpost have such options built into them.
There is also at least one pop-up-stopper that now supports ad blocking.
If you have any of those turn them off and try again.
You also might like to check your security settings in your Browser.
Perhaps you have very aggressive security and privacy settings that are causing it?
Missing/Can't See Categories
Disable your ad-blocking, it may be part of your firewall.
Problem connecting to tracker - (7, 'getaddrinfo failed')
That means that your client can't get a connection to the Tracker's IP address.
Here are some possible reasons:
1. Your client can't get through your firewall.
2. Your ISP's DNS server is down.
3. Your ISP's DNS server can't resolve the tracker's domain to an IP address.
4. The Tracker is down and isn't responding.
Problem connecting to tracker - <urlopen error (111, 'Connection refused')>
Just let the torrent run in your client and the client will keep checking the tracker and should resume eventually.
Problem connecting with tracker - (10060, 'Operation timed out')
That error means that the server is down or too busy to process your request.
Just keep trying - leave your torrent open, if it doesn't see some action in about 20 -30 minutes try again later, the tracker may just busy that's all.
10047, address family not supported
This error is generated only because of incorrect network settings in Windows.
Make sure you:
1. Have "Client for Microsoft Networks"
2. Install the Microsoft version of "TCP/IP"
3. You're logged in and have a current IP address. You can use "winipcfg" or 'ipconfig/all' from the Command Prompt.
4. Test other network applications for proper operability
If you get the error on a non-windows system, I have no ideas at all.
Page cannot be displayed/found
The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later - Error 404.
I think it's just that some of the mirrors come on line and others go of, I use goggle to find other mirrors, sometimes it works some not, it isn't your firewall.
The site might just be too busy, try it again in a few minutes.
Also, I would suggest right clicking the file and saving it to you hard rive for easy access in the future.
It might be that the server the .torrent file is stored on is busy.
If it's a file that is being downloaded by many people then the chances are it's a popular one and many people are also trying to get the .torrent file itself too. Try right clicking on the .torrent and selecting "save as" then read the error message, it probably says something along the lines of "a connection with the server could not be established, please try again later".
Keep refreshing the page and try and get a different mirror.
you can try the refresh again, but it's likely the site has too many people accessing it, try again periodically.
It's not a huge issue because chances are it works one at least one of the mirrors and the others will be fixed eventually.
You just have to refresh a few times to try and find a working one.
No known mirrors
That normally means the mirror hosting the tracker is too busy or is having problems.
Web page is frilled with errors
Means the torrent is dead, down or overloaded. You really can't tell which of the three.
It only mean it can't get a connection with tracker,
so anything that cause the tracker to be non-responsive during checking could be causing that error message.
"rejected by tracker - Port xxxx is blacklisted"
Your client is reporting to the tracker that it uses one of the default bittorrent ports (6881-6889) or any other common p2p port for incoming connections.
The tracker in question does not allow clients to use ports commonly associated with p2p protocols. The reason for this is that it is a common practice for ISPs to throttle those ports (that is, limit the bandwidth, hence the speed).
The blocked ports list include, but is not necessarily limited to, the following:
Direct Connect 411 - 413
Kazaa 1214
eDonkey 4662
Gnutella 6346 - 6347
BitTorrent 6881 - 6889
In order to use use the tracker you must configure your client to use any port range that does not contain those ports (a range within the region 49152 through 65535 is preferable, cf. IANA). Notice that some clients, like Azureus 2.0.7.0 or higher, use a single port for all torrents, while most others use one port per open torrent. The size of the range you choose should take this into account (typically less than 10 ports wide. There is no benefit whatsoever in choosing a wide range, and there are possible security implications).
These ports are used for connections between peers, not client to tracker. Therefore this change will not interfere with your ability to use other trackers (in fact it should increase your speed with torrents from any tracker, not just ours). Your client will also still be able to connect to peers that are using the standard ports. If your client does not allow custom ports to be used, you will have to switch to one that does.
The more random the choice is the harder it will be for ISPs to catch on to you and start limiting speeds on the ports you use. If we simply define another port range on the forum, your ISPs will start throttling that range also.
Finally, remember to forward the chosen ports in your router and/or open them in your firewall, should you have them.
"Invalid or missing passkey" error?
Some torrent sites have started individually keying torrents to individual members. There is nothing you can do about it, apart from registering with the tracker's site and getting your own torrent from them.
The person who has posted this has now probably been banned/deleted from the tracker's site by now as the Passkey thing is to keep the tracker private, the usual proviso is that the member does not post the torrent on a public tracker like Youceff Torrents.
Problem connecting to tracker - <upload error (10065, 'no route to host')>
This can be caused by the remote host appearing to be down (which could be the port chosen being blocked at the said host).
This could also be down to a system admin at work having noticed unusual traffic and blocked a port or banned an IP then.
I would say try connecting for a couple of days, if you are still having problems with the same error message then I suggest you find another .torrent.
