Error Messages Guide for Torrent Clients

Error Messages
* Tracker response error: duplicated entry '2086-exbc' for key 2

Just leave torrents open. Error isn't on your side.

   * Tracker Return Code: 404, Stop! in Tracker >tracker url<

Do a manual announce.

   * Error (2torrent not registered with this tracker)

Check the log if the file hasn't been deleted.

    * Bad bencode or bad bencode data

Re-download the torrent and before you will start it make sure you are logged in to the site then run
torrent in your client.


   * Problem getting response info - [Errno 2] No such file or directory: "C:\\Documents and Settings\..."

Internet Explorer sometimes doesn't BitTorrent files (torrents) in the Temporary Internet Files directory properly.It seems to disproportionately affect files with brackets (']' and '['Smiliey in the filename.
Right click on the link and choose Save As..., and save the torrent file to disk, and then double-click the file to launch the client. Clearing the IE cache seems to help if this problem is recurring.

   * A piece failed hash check, re-downloading it

Typically this is a safely ignored BitTorrent error message. It means that you received a piece of the file that when verified was found to be corrupt. It will automatically be downloaded again

   * bad data from tracker or Bad Tracker Data

Another error message that typically means little. Usually this is a problem when a tracker is overloaded. If problem persists, you may want to look for another torrent, but typically patience and time will allow the problem to correct itself.

   * The common "Problems Connecting to tracker" error messages.

Problem connecting to tracker - timeout exceeded
Problem connecting to tracker - HTTP Error 503: Connect failed
Problem connecting to tracker - [Errno socket error] (10061, "Connection refused" )
Problem connecting to tracker - (111, 'Connection refused'Smiliey

Trackers tend to be heavily loaded, and connections often fail. The best thing to do if an error listed above? Simply leave the client open. An error of this nature typically will resolve itself.

   * Problem connecting to tracker - HTTP Error 400: Not Authorized

Usually this indicates an old torrent

   * Problem connecting to tracker - HTTP Error 404: Not Found

Usually a dead torrent

   * Problem connecting to tracker - HTTP Error 407: Proxy Authentication Required

You need to configure a username and password for your proxy server setting in order to contact the tracker

   * 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.

   * (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.If this will not help restart your PC !

   * 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'Smiliey>

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'Smiliey

This occurs when an established connection is shut down for some reason by the remote computer, just ignore it.

   * \"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'Smiliey

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 with tracker - (10060, 'Operation timed out'Smiliey

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

   * 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.
Do not ask Yourself at Forum, which ports you should choose. 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.

   * Problem connecting to tracker - <upload error (10065, 'no route to host'Smiliey>

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.

   * Torrent not registered with this tracker

TTL has expired or it has been deleted.
Also the problem might be in your Firewall.

   * Error:Existing data file length too large [1596>1404]

In Azureus check Tools - Options - Files - Truncate existing files that are too large.

   * Error : Data Missing (Path to files)

Move your files to another path and download it there.

Got bad file info - path disallowed for security reasons

This message happens in Bittornado, when you get it switch to another client like Bitcomet, Azureus.


   * Tracker Status: Offline (SocketException:Unexpected end of file from server)

Re-download the .torrent file from the browse page and run it.

Problem connecting to tracker. HTTP error 503: service unavailable

Problem connecting to tracker. HTTP error 503: service unavailable

Tracker is down.

Problem connecting to tracker. HTTP error 503: service unavailable


   * [Error no 9] Bad file descriptor

This occurs if your operating system or UNIX file system cannot support files larger than 4 GB, and you try to download a file larger than 4 GB. The only way to fix this is to upgrade the operating system. This mostly affects Windows 98 and Windows ME; you will need to use Windows 2000 or Windows XP to download this file. This error can also be caused by file system corruption. Run Scandisk and then defragment your hard drive and try again.
