When I download games from FitGirl (using qBittorrent and Mullvad) it wont seed. When I download Movies/Music it always seeds. Is FitGirl not taking Seeds or is there a problem with Mullvad? Thanks in advance, I dont want to be a leech and want to make sure I do my part.

Mullvad doesn't have port forwarding, so that's going to be a factor.

Can someone more informed than me explain what this means and why it matters.

When you are seeding, you broadcast to other peers that you have pieces available. The most efficient way to exchange data is for them to open a connection to you. Without an open port (from port forwarding) they have no way to make this direct connection.
