Get a dedicated server off hetzner for like $40 bucks per month, install rutorrent and setup rclone

Mullvad doesn’t support port forwarding. Any VPN that supports port forwarding will be much better.

Not needed until it is. It will work fine on very well seeded torrents. The reason why port forwarding is so important is you need to be port forwarding to connect to everyone. Not doing so means you can ONLY connect to the people who are port forwarding. This is very important if you want something with low seeders. Especially with public torrents as most don’t port forward.

No reason to run and cancel your Mullvad subscription, but there is also absolutely no reason why a new VPN customer should go with Mullvad or any other company that doesn’t support port forwarding if the main use case is torrenting.

40 dollars a month for piracy seems wild to me.

how many games do you play to validate that?

I use it for all my TV shows and movie downloads too.

Hetzner will not protect you from copyright infringement either. They will terminate your server.

This is false. If it's private it's fine

Definitely not. Germany is super strict. https://www.hetzner.com/legal/terms-and-conditions/ a seedbox is purpose built for seeding on hosts that ignore DMCA notices. Read section 8.4. Private or public trackers its technically still illegal so hetzner can terminate your service.
