That info is a count of how many people are currently in the torrent for each 
of the 3 torrents available.  (Not sure which is which)

So for the first torrent 96 people have the complete file and are currently 
uploading it to others, and 293 people are currently downling it from each 
other and the completed people, while 397 people have completed the torrent 
and signed off.

You will find that your download rate will improve if you open ports 6881:6889 
to allow uploads, and some people have reported better download rates if they 
limit the upload rate to something less than their broadband connection 
maximum.
My cable allows 128kbps upstream, so I have limited upload rate to 13 KBs
( --max_upload_rate 13 )

You will also get better download rates if people will leave their torrent 
running after they have completed to help others

BTW: The problem with "Error 404" has been fixed now.
