    Here is the wget output I get over plain Internet:
        wget -O- http://bttracker.debian.org:6969/stats
        --2021-12-23 20:43:18--  http://bttracker.debian.org:6969/stats
        Resolving bttracker.debian.org (bttracker.debian.org)...
    130.239.18.158, 2001:6b0:e:2018::158
        Connecting to bttracker.debian.org
    (bttracker.debian.org)|130.239.18.158|:6969... connected.
        HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 NotFound
        2021-12-23 20:43:18 ERROR 404: NotFound.
    
    And here is the wget output I get over Tor network:
        $ http_proxy=127.0.0.1:81 wget -O-
    http://bttracker.debian.org:6969/stats
        --2021-12-23 20:55:05--  http://bttracker.debian.org:6969/stats
        Connecting to 127.0.0.1:81... connected.
        Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 503 Forwarding failure
        2021-12-23 20:56:40 ERROR 503: Forwarding failure.
    
    So that explains it. Host "bttracker.debian.org" or its hosting
    provider blocks traffic from Tor network.
    I've configured an exception for this tracker to use open Internet
    instead of Tor network and now it works fine.
    Thanks for assistance, Mattias.
