Ordinarily that means there is a problem with the torrent file itself. Though I have seen a small number of uTorrent users with this issue lately.
Have you tried using the magnet link? KAT has a magnet link next to the download torrent link. This will not fix the problem, but if you can get it through magnet it will get done what you want.
What browser are you using? In the past IE was causing some issues. If you are using IE, try Firefox to get the torrents.
Are you saving the torrent to your computer and opening or opening through the browser? Some people had issues when opening through the browser.
It may be an issue with uTorrent. But, since only a few have the issue, I am not sure how it will get resolved.

ISPs are now able to "corrupt" the data within the torrent, that is why you get the error message regarding bencoding, even using a proxy server no longer works, the only way to get around it permanently is to create a Virtual Private Network (VPN), this will work until the ISPs work out how to corrupt the data that is downloading through the VPN.

I have been using Bit-torrent's utorrent client for torrentz.
Due to some reason I have uninstalled it and now when I have installed it and tried to download new torrents - i get the error - "Torrrent not valid bencoding" - in the client software - there was lot of seeding happening also - now after reinstalling - it shows no torrents available in My pc.
Please help to resolve
I came across a site that coverts magnets to torrents and it works. Just copy and paste the magnet link you want to convert. http://www.magnet2torrent.com/

Changing DNS to Google DNS or Open DNS can solve this problem.
Google DNS : –
8.8.8.8
8.8.0.0
go to your bowser extensions, and uninstall any extension and try again. It worked for me.
