uTorrent stuck at 0.0% checking
If uTorrent gets stuck at 0.0% checking, I recommend making sure all magnet links have downloaded their appropriate metadata (filenames etc.) and then shutting down uTorrent.
After shutting down uTorrent, start it back up and give it a moment. Your torrents will likely now go past the 0.0% checking stage 🙂
Here are some more links and tips if that does not work for you:

Stuck at “Checking 0.00%”https://forum.suprbay.org/showthread.php?tid=135931Hi, I’ve noticed over the last two days, that I am unable to download file from only the PirateBay. These are the files I’ve been trying to download, right from the uTorrent 3.2.2 :…

The problem seems to be originated cuz when utorrent is restarted it does a check(verification) on the currently downloading files and creates a metadata for this state.
If the download is in accessible, then it gets stuck at 0; even after you resolve the accessibility as there is no retry from utorrent for this.
The way to solve this is terminate utorrent process gracefully and restart it; where it does the same initialization steps again and as the downloads is accessible now, it will continue the process.
There might be other similar causes for this as well, this one solves one of them.
