Since it had an error decoding with FLAC frontend something is wrong with your files. Seeing as you used BitTorrent, is it possible you didn't get a complete downloaded?

Redownload.

Or just reopen the torrent and let it really finish the download. Some BT clients report 100% download before it's actually 100% ready. You might have to wait for it to say "finished", "completed" or something like that.
