Re: Frequent "Error: Connection timed out" tracker results with Pi 3 and Pi 4

See below my Fix and the experiences
same issue on 1.3.15 and 2.0.3
See attached.
The Marked (Red) setting was the reason for my troubles.
I was getting intermittent Connection Timed Out on various torrents, especially the torrents that were old.
I thought I had fixed it by downloading fresh torrent files and starting them again, and forcing check, but other torrents would then become troublesome.
Reset a specific Torrents Trackers and another would show up.
Also I could still download and torrents would also seed, but it was intermittent, and at least 1/2 would be in error state.
It seemed like my Proxy was failing, It did not help that my Provider NordVPN kept disabling their Socksv5 Proxy Servers. So the assumption was it was them for a long time.
They also did not have clear documentation about the correct setup.
Well it is now. I think they have sorted it.
I could not find a solution for these connection time outs, and I have been searching for well over a year.
The Setting that should have been:
In Proxy, Proxy Trackers = False
Of course there could be many other reason for it. from your proxy to the port settings. But the intermittent nature of it points to my fix here.
Damn this is a complex topic.
