pinging, is it safe?

Hi, I was downloading from a movie torrent site without any problems but since yesterday it stopped, I was getting a message from my download client that ''tracker was sending invalid data''. I contacted the administrator there and whatever he did my download started.After that he said that I need to ping their adress and tell them what I see.Whats all that about?Is that safe?Thanks in advance.
