Do you need port forwarding for seeding?

Not strictly speaking, but it definitely speeds up seeding because without it a lot of potential connections would be closed to you.

One side of the exchange always needs to have a reachable port so by not having one you're limiting the peers you can seed to and also the peers you can download from.
