Your ISP is known to be very hostile to BitTorrent traffic, however that error may not be caused by that.

DreadWingKnight said awhile back: "Semaphore timeouts have to do with hard drive controllers not communicating properly with the hard drive. Usually caused by hard drive cables that are too long."

This message thread also dealt with the same problem:
