qBittorrent is probably the best torrent client for Windows

~~Mullvad is a relatively cheap and trustworthy VPN provider~~ (they unfortunately removed port forwarding, which is important for torrenting)

AirVPN and Proton VPN are trustworthy VPN providers that support port forwarding

Servarr is the way to go if you want to set up a server that automates everything for you

Jellyfin is the best media server, far ahead of Plex and fully FOSS

FMHY and the Champagne Piracy Wiki have lots of valuable information

But Mullvad dropped port-forwarding which is relevant in the context of torrenting.

God dammit
I keep forgetting that. I didn't really notice it, since I use a seedbox anyway, but that might be a little to much for a new user.

Why is port forwarding important? Sorry if it's a dumb question, lol.
