Are VPNs still useful for torrenting?
If you are tech savvy and the stuff you want to torrent is somewhat mainstream, I would recommend torrenting over i2p. You should be able to find all the info you need to get started on their website: https://geti2p.net/
i2p is an anonymity network similar to tor, but the implementation allows for torrenting much better than tor. It is worth noting that i2p is not a drop-in replacement for a vpn and you will only be able to access content on the i2p network, however you can easily request that things be added and there will usually be a seeder in a day or two.

Where are you making requests? So far I’ve just been watching what goes up on Postman
You can make requests on the wishlist section of postman.
An alternative would be third-party Seedbox or self-hosting one, some free service providers that I use to get you started:
Seedr: You can get up to 4.5 GB free, speed never disappoints even if it’s barely seeded. SonicBit: You can get up to 6 GB free, depending on how much the files are seeded.
And if you can afford it, your support would be appreciated.
