I forget about port forwarding because I never get to seed because of my abysmal upload speed.

I understand completely. I believe my speed is 175/10, so although the download is great, the upload is rather pitiful. Even with PF, I still get maybe a total upload of anywhere from 500 KiB/s–1 MiB/s according to qBittorrent.

Why does everyone talk about port forwarding when it comes to Mullvad and seeding? When I tried out Mullvad and torrenting last month I was able to seed just fine. Is there something I'm missing?

You can seed, but you're depending on other people opening their ports to seed and download.
