VPN (especially PrivateVPN) with uTorrent?

Last week I reported an unexplained slowdown (to essentially nil) in torrent downloads.  I later realized that it was associated with running PrivateVPN.  After installing the VPN, I tested it several different ways to see if it hurt download/upload speeds, but the effect wasn't substantial.  So I presumed the same would be true for torrenting.  And the hell of it is, I found PrivateVPN on a site listing VPNs known to work with BitTorrent (although not specifically with the uTorrent client).

All this caused because I kept seeing references to the importance of VPNs, **especially** with BitTorrent.  Is anybody else using a VPN successfully with uTorrent?

I realize that you Advanced Members must keep out the newbies and other such riffraff, but I wasn't really asking for help with VPN, just whether uTorrent is compatible with a VPN, i.e., is anybody else successfully using it with a VPN?  A simple yes or no was all I was looking for, not tech support.
