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.

other than that no idea

There was a possibly similar problem in another thread. However it was "data corruption" in that case.

hrrmmmm still no luck... anyone have any other experiances?

Maybe ISP's blocking P2P apps?

It could just be a problem connecting to the tracker. Sometimes they go down.

There are at least a few reasons why there could be a problem with the torrent file :

1. The torrent file could be corrupted .

2. The Bit torrent application you are using may simply not recognize the particular tracker . It may a problem of incompatibility or an indication of a poorly written program. I recommend using Bit Comet which works great .

3. If you are using a router, make sure you have opened ports for the program.

4. If you are using a firewall, make sure that the program has been allowed in your firewall.

5. It could be a problem with your network connection. It might be wise to check this out just in case.

6. Its always best to give your torrent program some time to reload the torrent in question. In most cases, it should pick it up. :gj
