IF you can answer this without a screenshot (since it is so difficult for me to figure that out) - I realized another mistake - I signed up only for basic and it didn't hide my IP address.  (it said so in the product description but I missed it, I guess I'm a DUMMY. Reading is fundamental!)

Anyway, I signed up for the package that hides my IP which asks me to use Socks V5 proxy type.  I do not have that choice on Utorrent 3.1.3 - I have none, Socks 4, Socks 5, HTTP and HTTPS.  Thank you.

Even if enabled in your µTorrent, on torrents from private tracker like GayTorrent.ru , it shall say "not allowed". The same for peer exchange (PEX) and local peer discovery.

It would be helpful if you tell us which torrent you try to download, best with a link to the description page and during which time periods including your time zone GMT offset. That will enable us to take a look while you try to download.

Please select the torrent in µTorrent and then have a look under the Tracker tab: what message is indicated after the tracker announce URL? That gives some indication about the nature of the issue.

Please place a screen capture of your µTorrent connection settings (with proxy login password made invisible) in our  Bitbucket https://www.gaytor.rent/bitbucket.php and sent me the link to it by a PM.

************* 5 minutes later - I don't know what gave me the idea to do this a couple days ago, but I cleared out everything on the utorrent "connection" box.  (on settings)  unchecked everything, removed everything I could, name, password, proxy server number.  I waited a few minutes, restarted utorrent and it was downloading.  I did the same thing all day yesterday, nothing happened.  I did it again today and most sites are downloading.  Remember, I get stuff from Pirate Bay, and other places.  What gives?  Thanks!
