Tiffanys:
Like, "Error: Data Error (Cyclic Redundancy Check)" or "Error: Invalid download state, try resuming"?

I'm not sure if they're caused by the torrent themselves or by something on my end.

I only got the CRC error once, but after looking up what it means, it kinda makes me paranoid since it could mean I have bad sectors on my HDD or something... Then again, it could also just mean I restarted while the torrent was downloading. I haven't seen it again, so should I worry about it?

Also, the 2nd error ("Error: Invalid download state, try resuming") is occurring on these torrents:

I only have one other one that has some sort've weird thing... But it just has a red up arrow and says it's seeding, but there's nobody connected [0(1) seeds, 0(0) peers]. I tried looking, but I can't seem to find the version that I have on BBT... I'm guessing that it got removed or replaced? It's [Ayano-BakaWolf] Rosario + Vampire [DVD] and it's 3.45 GB. The closest one I found (with the same naming scheme) was a 2 GB one still up, but the one I downloaded had a bunch of creditless openings along with it and that one doesn't and it's a lot smaller. So, I'm guessing whatever one I downloaded was replaced?

Takeshi:
Yes, evidently it was replaced by this a little while ago.

Seeding it you should've gotten a notification about it, I (usually) do. But it seems there's bugs present when a swap occurs resulting in some people not getting it.

namaiki:
Tiffanys, perhaps try a hard drive surface scan, or chkdsk.

Duki3003:
What namaiki suggested, restart do a chkdsk, re-check torrent and they should work

For the sake of information...
"Data Error (Cyclic Redundancy Check)"
This means a file failed the torrent hash check, indicating the file is corrupted. Usually you can resume these and redownload the bad piece after the check is complete.

"Invalid download state, try resuming"
This can indicate two things;
1. One (or more) of the files in the torrent has been moved, renamed, modified, etc. This usually happens with seeding torrents. In the first two cases, a good client will allow you to "find" the missing file. As long as it hasn't been modified, you will probably be able to resume without re-checking. If it was modified, you're pretty much SOL- you'll have to redownload it.
2. Your computer crashed/power went out while a file was active. This only happens when downloading. Since the file was being written to when the client unexpectedly quit, the data won't match up with the client log, since the log is not written until a chunk is completed. It's like if someone went to a construction site and finished building a wall overnight- when the bricklayer comes back, he'll be confused and want to check everything to make sure it's okay.

Unless it starts happening a lot, it's not something to worry much about.

That means the tracker is down/unable to connect. (It sounds like you're using uTorrent?) If you go to the tracker tab, it'll have a status message. If it says 'offline/timed out', then the server is probably down for maintenance. If it says 'not registered with this tracker', then the torrent has been swapped or removed. You should get a PM in those cases.
