What are you looking for in uTorrent?
Your port number should be listed under connection in preferences.
The test that you can run in uTorrent should be under the Options menu.Set up Guide

I'm using uTorrent on a Mac running Yosemite and I've been getting the same 'not connectable' messages here. However, when I check with uTorrent it seems to be working fine. Go to uTorrent/Preferences/Network and it will show if you are connected with a green light. You can tick a box so that this is always shown in the status bar in the bottom right-hand corner. Also make sure your firewall connections in System Preferences/Security are set to allow incoming connections for uTorrent. Additionally, make sure your router is set to support universal plug and play.
I'm wondering whether it is a problem with the current version of uTorrent for Mac, or whether the problem is here. I don't have any problems with the other download site I use.

If staff have reported you to be "not connected" or you notice it after running a connectivity test on your torrent client, there is a problem with the firewall. Either an exemption for the torrent client needs to be made or to use a port forward to solve this issue.

The sign in the bottom right hand corner isn't a real connectivity check. It just means µTorrent receives incoming connections, which may be due to previously opened ports by outgoing connections made from µTorrent (they stay open a little while).
I don't have a Mac at hand, but when I've looked on µTorrent for Mac in a Apple Store, the User Interface was very similar to the Windows version. The only difference I've seen on a first glance was the file navigation using the Mac OSX file "Finder" and not the Windows file explorer (of course).
So I would still expect the "Network" test being under µTorrent > Options > Setup Guide and the port used to connect in the µTorrent < Options < Preferences > Connection menu. It is the port set there you'll need to make sure the Mac OSX firewall allows incoming connections.
