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.

"If you’re looking for a VPN provider that hasn’t had issues ever in their history, good luck. You’ll just end up with the ones who lie and cover up incidents."

This is the type of ignorant statement makes it hard to take you seriously. First of all its not true, and if you really believed it, why waste time stanning for Windscribe? What's your pitch? "They all suck so go with this one"

Sure, trustworthy VPNs are few and far between but they do exist. On the no port-forwarding side you have Mullvad, and IVPN and other newer ones that seem promising for now. On the port-forwarding side you have Proton and AirVPN with other newer ones that have some promise.

Even OVPN, who now has dubious ownership, has a far better track-record then Windscribe.
