Basically, if you aren’t port forwarded, you will get less peers. This is because you aren’t allowing incoming traffic, so only other port forwarded peers can talk to you. If you are port forwarded, you get all the peers.
With vpns that support port forwarding, you can set the port forwarded port on the VPN to the port in your bittorrent client and it will allow incoming traffic.
Can you explain how port forwarding is used for torrenting and how it works with other VPNs?

Interesting, thanks for answering me. I didn’t know about this.
