Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker
I want to set up Edubuntu for a small non-profit school in South Africa.
I'm trying to download the file edubuntu-14.04-dvd-i386.iso.torrent from http://dl.stgraber.org/releases/edubuntu/14.04/
Transmission gives me the error: Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker.
I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Deluge torrent tells me that there are no incoming connections. I have gufw switched off. I've never had problems with transmission before today. The only difference is that I've upgraded from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.04

I saw the same message when trying to download ubuntustudio-16.04-dvd-amd64.iso.torrent from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/xenial/release/
Using Transmission 2.84
While I was searching for information on the error, the download began. However, the message remains under the progress bar.
My suggestion is to wait, perhaps two minutes, before looking for another way to download.

I was just curious about the "not authorized for use" tracker error message I've just noticed in one of the Ubuntu torrents I'm seeding - and I tend to believe this is the error message trackers broadcast for obsolete or unsupported version torrents. Because at that time I was seeding both ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso and ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso. Both were using the same tracker and only 16.04.2 had this error message, 16.04.3 was fine.
So it seems this is the way tracker is letting the users know this version is not the most recent one and they should neither download nor seed them anymore and should rather look for current version torrent. It makes sense, although it wouldn't hurt to state this more explicitly somewhere, my two topmost google query hits were for this thread and a similar one on ubuntuforums.org...
