so what is the reason for red arrow?

Look in the general tab at tracker status!

If it is "timed out" and the tracker is Pirate bay, that this is "normal" ;-)

No need to worry you have DHT and can still DL even when the tracker is not reachable when DHT was allowed by the torrent creator.

[shagy10]

says target machine actively refused it and tracker is pcttracker

[µtorrent-Guest]

So then your IP is not allowed on that tracker!

Try to contact the tracker admin if you think this is unjustified

Actually

Connection Refused means the system is up but the tracker program isn't.

How comes? when the trackerprogram is not running why do u get a "conection refused" mesage than. I thought getting this message means there is some programm that reacts in the way that it says "YOU NOT!"?

No, it's the system refusing the connection, because no program is listening on the port.

shagy10 read #9!

And if you have other torrents with other messages read #2

Get a torrent that uses a DIFFERENT tracker, such as Open Office. http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/
