Sorry if this is a rookie question, but most of what I've downloaded over the last decade was nowhere near this obscure. I'd like to think this community could benefit from a corpus of Q and A, if this breaks rule 4, I'll gracefully accept if this post is removed.

I am downloading through Mullvad, which I know doesn't let you forward your ports. So I can appreciate that that seeder's settings and mine might not be super compatible.

Is there any flag or anything I can do to let the seeder connect at all, besides finding some other way to exit with port forwarding. Seedbox is on my horizon, but it is far out there.

Don't know what country you are in, but it might be worth considering try to get the torrent without a VPN.

Chances are if it's extremely rare/obscure stuff, it's not going to be tracked by a copyright enforcement agency.

If you don't want to download without vpn, try a short subscription of debrid or a seedbox
