For regular internet browsing, all OpenVPN servers (US, UK, Euro1, Euro2) in nearly all profiles (UDP53, UDP 25000, TCP 80, TCP 443) work flawlessly for me.
I understand that P2P connections can be made by only using the Euro1 and Euro2 servers. While using the uTorrent client in conjunction with Euro1 and Euro2 OpenVPN connections, no P2P activity (either uploading or downloading) is taking place. When the Euro1 or Euro2 OpenVPN connections are terminated, P2P activity resumes on uTorrent (but that, of course, defeats the purpose for which VPN connections are intended).
What am I missing with respect to making the uTorrent client and the OpenVPN Euro 1 or Euro2 connections play nicely together? Any helpful tips from those OpenVPN-uTorrent users who have successfully used uTorrent in conjunction with the Euro1 and/or Euro2 servers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Yup!, me too!
I'm having to use vpnbook (my HideMyAss account expired and I can't afford a new subscription).
I can browse to my heart's content, but uTorrent refuses to cooperate - I haven't been able to stumble upon the correct uTorrent configuration to get it to work. If I drop the openvpn connection, uTorrent starts downloading normally over a normal unencrypted connection, but, as you say, that defeats a major purpose of using a vpn to begin with.
The consensus of opinion on the web is that vpnbook is usable for browsing and streaming, but there is no talk about p2p usage. I know the site says that 2 servers support p2p traffic, but practical experience seems to indicate otherwise. I don't think p2p is possible without paying for it from someone. I was hoping to be able to use this at least temporarily, but if it looks too good to be true, well, you know the rest...
