I am just getting back my sea legs, but apparently they're pretty shaky because I can't get my ubuntu torrent (no seriously, it is) to download. It never starts downloading and is stuck in "stalled". I've tried a number of things, but even with default settings it isn't starting. I'm using proton VPN on Linux Mint, but even with the VPN disabled it doesn't work.

last time I torrented was probably 15 years ago.

I see a lot of people recommend it. Is it really good? I've made my setup with proton but I'm not really happy with connection speed and seeding.

Mullvad is a very good VPN and widely considered among the most trustworthy ones with a good history of protecting its users' privacy. It's a bad choice for torrenting in particular though, since they recently abolished their port forwarding feature.
