Most likely either the torrent was corrupted during download so that 
iTransmission fails to read. This should happen to other BitTorrent clients on 
desktop as well. You should try to re-download the torrent file, and if that 
doesn't work, try it on desktop to see if the file is actually corrupted.

Still can't add private torrents. The Cydia version could add private torrents 
and yeah utorrent downloads them just fine. Plz look into this issue

Because iTransmission doesn't share Safari's cookies, the private tracker site 
may identify iTransmission as not logged in thus returning a HTML page instead 
of .torrent file resulting invalid torrent.
