what does it mean when the ip's in the location column of the search window are in red?

I believe it means they are firewalled. (People not firewalled can dl from them, people firewalled can't -well not when 4.2 will be out in the next weeks as 4.2 will support firewall to firewall transfers )

I'm afraid it means that I've been blocked..... the machine had some specific files i was after and after i dl'd some of them, i pressed the force resume, and shortly after that ive been unable to dl from them.... i hope i didnt **** someone off accidentaly.

not likely... the host probably only went offline. You can try later in the day or remake a specific search to find sources.

bonne chance
