MODERATORS
That's why I said (basically). If another user has a port open and you connect to them through their open port, a bidirectional connection gets established and then you can also upload. But if the other user also didn't have a port open, then BitTorrent wouldn't work. You rely on other people to have ports open, if everyone was using mullvad, then it would stop working.
That clarifies the whole thing, thanks
