bittorrent errors

When d1 finished downloading, I saw this in a window:

Code:

I've been checking the bittorrent faq, user manual, and forum on the bittorrent site, but can't find an answer to this.
I downloaded the torrents from the slackware torrent site.
Any ideas on what to do?
I stopped the d-1 torrent in case something was wrong.

Thanks for your help.

removed the d2 torrent, downloaded it again from slackware site and trying it.
I'll see how it goes. Sorry about stopping d1...guess I'm a leach on that one.
Need to get an answer to the above problem.
Happy seeding everybody

Got the same error with d2 with less than 100meg downloaded, so I stopped the torrent

I think there is something wrong with the tracker as ktorrent gives me "invalid response from tracker" and it only started working when I used DHT to get peers.

Now uploading both DVD images with a combined upload of ~80KB/s

I think you're right.
I'm now learning/playing with rtorrent. Looks like it is seeding the complete downloaded iso's I got last night from ftp.

I downloaded Slackware 13.1 x86 ISO discs 1, 2 and 3 using MLDonkey (for disc 1) and BitTorrent from slackware-13.0/extra/bittorrent/ (for discs 2 and 3). MLDonkey worked quietly but downloaded disc 1 for over nine hours. BitTorrent displayed the error quoted below and downloaded each disc for less than 50 minutes.

Code:

"slackware-13.1-iso" : rejected by tracker - Your client's "key" paramater and the key we have for you in our database do not match.

I checked MD5 checksums for all discs and all are valid so that error isn’t critical.

After downloading the files I put them in the common slackware-13.1-iso directory, which is seen for BitTorrent, I run the program, I opened three torrents, and I started downloading for all of them. In result BitTorrent seeds them.

The same method allows to download a few torrents simultaneously using BitTorrent. It’s enough to open them consecutively and to start downloading for all of them.

In BitTorrent Settings tab Download I switched option Stop another running torrent to make room to Don't stop other running torrents.
