The tracker is like a central-server, it holds all the info on each segment of the file you're downloading (each file is split up into segments, Bit Torrent ticks off each one as it's 100% downloaded).
Sounds like the info on the tracker is corrupt, so your BT program doesn't know what's been downloaded and what hasn't...

The tracker does'nt hold info of wat u have downloaded, the tracker just connects you to other hosts/people using that torrent, thats why u get i/p's that are choked, intresting or full.....
Normally if its a download error u will just re- download it, aws ure client will rehas every thing as its downloaded
