As such, many ISPs will throttle your connection—that is, slow it down—if they see you're using BitTorrent. They don't usually look at what you're downloading even though they could, if they wanted to , but they will check what kind of traffic is coming from your machine. That is, they'll see how much of it is email, web browsing, video chat, online gaming, and so on. All they care about is that you're slowing down their network. To see if your ISP is looking for BitTorrent traffic, check out this list of the worst offenders , or try the previously mentioned Glasnost tool.
If your ISP isn't throttling BitTorrent, then you don't have much to worry about, though they still could see anything they wanted. The real problem, if you're downloading illegal media, is the company from whom you're stealing. They or lawyers or companies on their behalf actually go online and seek out torrents of their material, whether it be movies, music, TV shows, or anything else, and will download the torrent themselves.
From there, they can see a lot of information about the other users connected—including their IP address. You can even check this for yourself at home. Start downloading a torrent and click on the "More Info" section of your torrent client. You'll see the IP address of everyone you're downloading from and uploading to, plain as day.

Note: Some VPN services are free but, as with most things in life, you get what you pay for. Firstly, you need to make sure your Windows Firewall or anti-virus app is not blocking your uTorrent. Although the uTorrent setup wizard will automatically add an exception for uTorrent in Windows Firewall, sometimes this will fail due to your third-party antivirus settings. If your antivirus app is doing an excellent job, it may take over control over your Windows Firewall and block your uTorrent, thus causing uTorrent not downloading issues.
If your uTorrent is stuck on connecting to peers , it can be a temporary stale download caused by outdated seeders or trackers. This will immediately check for more peers. Then navigate to the uTorrent folder and delete the file named resume. The culprit can be uTorrent settings such as ports not working, you can run a quick test and let uTorrent adjust its settings automatically. Some of the configurations of uTorrent will interfere with your internet connection, thus causing the uTorrent not downloading issues.
