This technical support section is about bitcoin only, you should ask on the altcoin forum, and you should at least tell us what altcoin are you using. Are you using Litecoin?

I would close the client, delete the peers file (make sure you don't do anything stupid like deleting wallet.dat) and then let it find new peers again.

If you are using some abandoned altcoin, you may not be able to find any peers.

What coin are you talking about right now? Need to know this to help you.
Also will need to know what operating system you are running to guide you where the data folder for the coin is located on.
All of your funds (if you have any) are safe, and the peers don't really cause any harm since you'll need to only delete few files from the data folder of the coin but not the wallet.dat
You might have to make a config too, depending whether the coin has a working peer discovery or not.
Let me know so i can help you out :)
