See The First post for common problems. Below states Problem Connecting to/with Tracker

7, 'getaddrinfo failed' (aka 10007)
  • 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 trackers domain to an IP address.
    4. The Tracker is down and isn't responding.



47, 'address family not supported' (aka 10047)
  • 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



54,'Connection reset by peer' (aka 10054)

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


55, 'No buffer space available' (aka 10055)
  • 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.


60, 'Operation timed out' (aka 10060)
  • That error means that the tracker 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 be busy that's all.
  • It may also be your BT Client, try a different client
  • If after a few days your download still does not start or continue and you are sure you have correctly configured your environment (i.e. made sure you have read all the FAQs about configuring your client), then you can safely assume the tracker/torrent is gone.


61, 'Connection refused' (aka 10061)
  • 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 because of 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.


65, 'no route to host' (aka 10065)
  • 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.


111, 'Connection refused' (aka 10111)

Just let the torrent run in your client and the client will keep checking the tracker and should resume eventually.

HTTP Error -1

Leave your torrent running in your client. The client will keep checking the tracker and it should resume eventually.

HTTP error 404: Page cannot be displayed/found The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
  • It might be that the server the .torrent file is stored on is busy. Try it again in a few minutes.
  • It could be an old .torrent file. Try to find a new link to the torrent.
  • Your internet address may have changed since you downloaded the .torrent file. Did your line drop? Did you have to disconnect? Simply re-download the .torrent file. If necessary, restart your machine. Your BT Client will re-check anything it has download so far and then resume from where it left off.
  • If this is your first torrent, that MAY mean you have not configured your internet/proxy or BT Client settings correctly. Try another torrent that other users have been able to download successfully


HTTP error 503: service unavailable

Have you tried to check on the tracker's status? Maybe the tracker is down for a rest or something bad happened


Unrecognized Host
  • Probably a private tracker (or one that requires passkeys) - go there and sign-up (or download the torrent from there).
  • If this is your first torrent, that MAY mean you have not configured your internet/proxy or BT Client settings correctly. Try another torrent that other users have been able to download successfully
