Bug Description

Binary package hint: ktorrent

The Pirate Bay has shut down its tracker (http://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-bay-tracker-shuts-down-for-good-091117/), but for some reason still includes it (as both HTTP and UDP) in torrents it serves. These trackers can't be deleted, since they're the "default tracker". Ktorrent would work better with torrents from TPB if it removed the tracker (and, ideally, could remove other trackers once maintainers learned they were defunct).

Those are the trackers defined by the .torrent files you are using. You should get them from another website/tracker.
