Hi!  Several posts on site explain that the 'lock' which appears next to some torrents in the Transfer mode pane indicate private torrent, will not use DHT or PEX (whatever that is) etc.  What I'm asking is:  How Do I get the torrent to start downloading??  Do I have to join/register at the site where the original torrent comes from or what?  Any help greatly appreciated.  ...Take Care!

you can't allow DHT or PEX on these 'locked' torrents, but you can add open trackers which might help finding seeds

Usually you have to join the site where the original torrent comes from, or search for another public torrent (without the lock) with the same files. Adding public trackers to private torrents rarely helps, but you can try.
