Mullvad is really good for a reasonably priced pay by month model. I use them for torrenting and seeding and I haven't had any issues.

I do however have to note that as of July Mullvad removed the ability to port forward, so that does cause some complications with some functions of Soulseek from what I've heard.

I have NordVPN and I forgot to completely do my homework so I didn't know until much later that it doesn't have port forwarding which is useful for torrenting. Having said that - I like Nord enough that when it was time to renew it - I did.

I'm locked in with Private Internet Access for the next 2 years or so but after that I'm looking at going with Proton since I use their email and calendar as it is.

Over on one of the piracy comms on one of the other instances there is a stickied post of a piracy info dump that was pulled from reddit that would get you set up with just about anything you need. I can try and find it when I'm back on my computer if you want. I've used it quite a bit for TV shows it mostly use YTS for movies.

If you are concerned with torrenting, look into usenets, by far the better option (though they take a bit of setup).
