Works great and supports port forwarding. VPNs don't rat you out to comcast, they'd lose all their customers.

Specifically, it overloads the network. A single VPN server used for torrenting (proton, air, nord, etc) deals more traffic than the whole Tor network.
Just different. Torrent protocol UTP is based on UDP, it has some advantages, you couldn't get with Tor
Great for privacy. So great, that half the internet won't let you browse, because they can't sell you data for money.

Expensive VPN with less features. Probably made sense 12 or 13 years ago.
I2P doesn't really have exit nodes. You can only browse within the I2P network.
Not always needed with private trackers.
Fine for Tor. But check the rules first so you don't get banned for duplicate IP.
There's no realistic scenario where the fiber for the street comes to your desktop. Some homelabs have fiber from the street to a switch/router, then more fiber from there to the desktop.
You probably meant 50mbps down and 10mbps up
Do you know what the DMCA is?
PF influences reverse connections to you when downloading as well. People can connect to you and upload to you. If the torrent is really badly seeded you might not be able to download it.
