It could be that the file is no longer on the tracker, the tracker could be offline or there is just no one on the torrent.


If you are using utorrent, you can scroll down and click on the "General" tab (I think. I don't have it open) and it will tell you some of these things.

If you are using Azureus (Vuze), I can't help, but maybe someone else can...

Do you have any seeds for your torrent? If you don't and you are connected to the tracker, the torrent is dead (there is no-one to upload it for you). Usually trackers have request-section where you can ask people to reseed your file.
