What is this long error?
If you really aren't able to download it via bittorrent just wait a few other days and download it via one of the mirrors...

Erm... does it pop up in a message, or is it your bittorrent client? Which client do you use? Which Windowsversion do you use? Is your firewall activated? Did you encounter similar problems before with your bt-client?
More info is the key to success :-)

the message pops up when I start to unpack the Torrent. I use the newest client. I have windows xp. I tryed it with the firewall down and that did help. and i have never seen the message before.

What do you mean by "unpack"?
So what did you do till now? You clicked on this link: http://laanx.fragnetics.com/bt/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015.exe.torrent, downloaded this file: PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015.exe.torrent and then opened it with your bittorrent client (in which way? by double clicking?) What is the name of your bittorrent client?
Maybe you mix up some things? I do not want to offend you, but did you use bittorrent before? Just asking because there are many people who are thinking bittorrent is something different than it actually is...
And last but not least, can you post the complete errormessage?

I didn't get the error message this time. I have used Bit Torrent before. I will see if it works.

Is the installer the one after you ran bit torrent on it

I really don't get this last question... what do you mean?
Did you followed all steps like I described? Do you use the standard bittorrent client from bittorrent.com or what is its name?

Here is the client i use 4.20.2. Do you have the the installer like from the mirror servers?

Erm I am not quite sure if we are talking about the same things...  :-[
The current version is not available from any mirrors (that I know) at the moment, the torrent is only a few hours old, this releas is really young.

Okay but your errormessage indicates (as far as I know) that the tracker is currently overloaded, which sounds realistic since there was a boom of downloads right know.
So lay back, relay and try later...

I know this is a stupid question but, is this torrent that is currently up, just an update or a full install?

This link: http://laanx.fragnetics.com/bt/PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015.exe.torrent, downloads this file: PlaneShift_CBV0.3.015.exe.torrent -which will eventually give you the full latest version [0.3.015] of the PlaneShift Client for Windows.
