If you open the torrent software first, it can cause a proxy error when your underlying IP address switches when you eventually do connect to the VPN.

This will often cause the proxy server to disconnect and block you from future connections for a short period of time. If you do this by mistake, simply close your torrent software, wait a few minutes, reconnect to the VPN, then open your torrent software as normal.
