I was looking over the log for KTorrent and I keep seeing the following types of lines. There are lots more of the authentication failures, and timeouts. Are these normal? Should I ignore them?

Code: Select all

Yep. It happens when you try to connect to some peers that are not 'connectable' for some reason (no longer online etc...).

However, that specific tracker timeout (tracker.prq.to) is caused by tracker itself. If you search around this forum you'll find that this tracker has some time interval in which it will accept connections so KT keeps bothering this tracker until it accepts the connection.
