Also, I honestly don't know what you mean by swarm detection - I've never had this problem before so I decided to not learn much about torrenting programs (my bad).

So to clarify, you see something like "tracker.bakabt.me/adhgioefklajdkljfeuhg29015yhgidhga" with no message next to it? Check that your firewall and BitTorrent's settings are not blocking connections to the BBT tracker specifically. Also ensure that PeerBlock is not blocking connections to the tracker, which is a known issue with the Paranoid list.
If none of that works, temporarily try another client on the Whitelist and see if you get the same problems.

If you don't see that when you add the torrent to your client, then the client's not connecting to the swarm. Can you try a different client? I'm guessing port forwarding is not a problem because other trackers work for you.

I can see the number of potential seeds and peers, yet it does not connect.

Checked my firewall and it's not blocking the connections.
I will attempt it with a different program on the whitelist. If it fails to work also, I appreciate all the help!
Thanks!

Good news! A different client has solved my issue! Thanks a ton for bearing with me trying to get my old client to work! I appreciate the help a lot!
megido-rev.M:
Right, as you see a swarm but can't connect, it was either a firewall or the client. :)
Freedom Kira:
If a different client worked, the problem is clearly something blocking your old client's tracker connectivity, and specifically with the BakaBT tracker.
Are you going to just live with using two clients, or do you want to keep trying to fix the issue?
