I am trying to download a TV Show using BitComet and received the following errror message on the Tracker Status line:

"Error: Tracker Response Error:Invalid peer_id"

followed by a string of characters.

What does it mean? And, how can I rectify the problem so I can get this episode?

Any ideas?

Thanks

(Apologies if this has been posted before but I DID search and nothing came up.)

Are u trying to download a file from private tracker?
did u download the torrent from public tracker like mininova, cuz some of torrents r uploaded to public tracker but they need registration with the source(private tracker site like torrentbits).
usually there is a 'R' sign beside thoes kinda of torrents.

Thanks for reply bawa@Klite_user but it was a public tracker and needed no registration.

I have sorted the problem out now though anyway - it seems that tracker didn't like BitComet so I'm downloading it using the basic Bittorrent client.

Hmmm...I don't see how BitComet would have anything to do with it...unless for some reason that client was banned from teh site....which is highly unlikely on a public site.

Probably what happens is your IP changed, therefore redownloading the torrent and starting it back up should have fixed that problem.
