There are new versions of PCLinuxOS (2014.05) which I have been trying
to download via torrent with Ktorrent. PCLinuxOS uses Linuxtracker to
host their torrent files. When I open any of the torrent files in
Ktorrent nothing happens for a long time. Looking at the torrent in the
Trackers tab it says "invalid data in torrent file," and right-clicking
on the torrent in the list of torrents it says it is unable to contact
any trackers. After anywhere from an hour or so to several days,
suddenly the torrent connects and starts downloading.

I can use direct download to get the ISO files, but I usually prefer
torrents as they are easier on the distro's servers. But the behavior
of the PCLinuxOS torrents is just weird. 

According to Google no one else has ever reported this problem with
torrents from PCLinuxOS. Does anyone here have any idea what might be
going on?
