i found the solution:

add the following line into .rtorrent.rc file.
network.http.ssl_verify_peer.set=0

after saving the file, restart rtorrent service

So you know: the SSL issue is Internet-wide and is caused by the expiration of an older CA (Certificate Authority) cert. It's exacerbated by some cross-signing of other CA and ICA (intermediate certificate authority) certs, but generally one VERY OLD CA cert expired and it's having unintended effects widely!

But the answer is to fix your Windows (or Mac)... your torrent client lets your OS "trust" (or not) the SSL certs... if your Windows (or Mac or Linux or phone!) trusted CA certs are out-of-date, you're getting these kinds of errors. Fix the "Trusted Store" in your OS, then reboot (it mostly only reads the Trusted Store at boot time so you need to reboot to "reload" them...

Disabling the SSL checking will work - but it also opens you up to malicious attacks through your torrent client. Low risk, perhaps - but a risk. Once you fix your SSL Trusted Store, turn the checking back on in your client!
