Scrape, proxy errors with Vuse - how to set up correctly
Hello,
Here are some technical specs: Mac OS 10.9.5 + Vuse + Apple Airport Extreme + Cable Modem/Router
I just signed up for PIA and I am trying to correctly configure Vuse to work with the proxy. I would like to use both the VPN and the proxy that PIA provides.
The thing that I do know is, I have been able to establish that my IP address is correctly being masked and I have checked more than 10 times on how I have set up the SOCKS5 proxy info in the Proxy settings tab in Vuse so find out why I am getting errors. Things are working but I'm getting errors.
I keep seeing an error message on some torrents that I have seeding. It says: "Scrape Error: socks setup failed: Unknown host proxy-nl.privateinternetaccess.com" Also getting a similar error that says: "Scrape Error: socks setup failed: Unknown host proxy-nl.privateinternetaccess.com" Also have been getting: "Unknown host" error from time to time. Another error that I have seen is connection errors but they seem to come and go.
How can I make this message disappear?
I am also getting another message however it does not appear to be an error. It says: Scrape OK.
What does all of this mean? Have I set things up correctly and I just need to ignore this or is something not working correctly? Do I need to set up anything else like Port Forwarding? Do I need to do something with my network settings on my computer? Do I need to forward any ports on my router? I want to be sure everything is correct.
Thank you all very much for your help!

Restarting Vuze will temporarily fix the problem. Sometimes updating tracker does too.
I also have sabnzbd downloading, I wonder if Vuze is unable to handle congestion.
