Mullvad did away with port forwarding about 1.5 years ago. https://mullvad.net/en/blog/removing-the-support-for-forward.... If im not mistaken its not your ability to download the torrents that is effected but your ability to really upload the torrents. If you belong to a private tracker with a strict seeding to downloading ratio i would use another VPN service for that

If a torrent has no seed with an open port, a peer without an open port won't be able to download.

This means having no port-forwarding shouldn't be much of an issue on private trackers (because most people have it to improve their ability to seed) but on public trackers some torrents might not download.
