Where, exactly, do you see that message (a screenshot would be ideal, otherwise please describe it exactly) ?

If that is a tracker error, it simply means that you're trying to download more torrents than you're allowed on a particular tracker.

ok this seems to be the solution

Increase max number of ulimit open file in Linux

1)Step : open the sysctl.conf and add this line fs.file-max = 65536

Sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf add end of line fs.file-max = 65536

save and exit.

2)Step : sudo gedit /etc/security/limits.conf and add below the mentioned

* soft nproc 65535

* hard nproc 65535

* soft nofile 65535

* hard nofile 65535

save and exit
check max open file ulimit

[root@localhost# ulimit -a

....

open files (-n) 65535

the full info is here
