Hi,

one of the trackers for a file I'm hosting appears to be in a domain with a
broken DNS server, making the query time out in the local recursive resolver.

It appears as if rtorrent hangs the entire time the DNS request is outstanding.

Thanks for your report, this was caused by the the DDoS yesterday on DNSimple.

Not only that, this is already reported to the upstream[0].
