Mullvad is one of the most proven privacy friendly vpn services. (the cops literally confiscated their servers and came out with nothing) Torrenting also isn't the only way to pirate data (plus seeding can be done without an open port, just limits you too peers with open ports)
Mullvad is great if privacy is your only metric, but it's not unique in that respect and no port forwarding is a serious limitation in this context. I've been looking into alternatives and AirVPN and OVPN both look reputable.
Torrenting also works fine sans port forwarding. I haven't ever had port forwarding and maintain a 2.0+ ratio easily. This is just straight up disinformation from halfwits demonstrating that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing in the hands of the ignorant.
2.0 is low
Even on public trackers I maintain a 6:0 ratio to give back (or even more depending on the torrent).
If everyone is sharing at a 6-1 ratio, where are the other five copies of everything going?
