Finding that torrent sometimes don't download at all despite seeders being present, so having to look around.

I had seen ivpn recommended before, but they don't allow port forwarding anymore.

I use proton with a decent amount of success, although I have had trouble with connectibility.

do you find the protonvpn server is quite unstable?

The speed can fluctuate as users pop on and off a server, but in general I have gotten excellent speeds (100mbps+). If ever I am getting poor throughput I swap to a different random server until I get what I need. I do not torrent with it though so I am not sure how it fares with that use.

I have not. Especially with the desktop client, which automatically will switch to another server if you get dropped. As far as speeds, I've also never noticed a problem but my bottleneck is my ISP so it's hard to know.
