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.

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.
