I was trying several methods posted in lowyat to fix the prob but it is quite troublesome.
In the end I found one that works including private trackers*.

Torrent clients support proxy. This means I can use TOR (The Onion Router) for it but the problem is that all peer connections will go though it, which is bad. Luckily there is one torrent client that solves this problem. Azureus. In Azureus, you can either set the proxy to tracker, to peers or both. That means I can set TOR to connect to the tracker and direct link to the peers.

1. Download TOR from http://tor.eff.org/download.html.en Select the first package
(Tor & Privoxy & Vidalia bundle ver. 0.1.1.26 - Latest version at current writing)

2. Install it, run it. Two icons should appear in your tray. A letter "P" and an onion. As for my case, the onion has a cross over it because it is disabled by default. Right click it and click Start. Now you can forget about it.

3. Download and install the latest version of Azureus. Don't forget to install Java Runtime 6 too.

4. In Azureus, select Tools -> Options -> Connection -> Proxy Options

5. Check "Enable Proxying of tracker communications" and "I have a SOCKS proxy".

6. Host is 127.0.0.1 and port is 9050. Click Save (bottom left of Azureus).

Thats it. Torrent should work now.

*As for private trackers (e.g. Filelist.org), you can only download one file a time. This is because everytime Azureus connects via TOR, TOR will reroute to another location, hence different IP address. Sometimes I can download several at the same time but MOST of time I can't so I assume that I can only download one at a time.
