In order to download a file via Torrent, someone has to upload it, and when using Torrent via VPN, the file cannot be uploaded without port forwarding.
Uploading can still happen even without open ports. The open port part is that someone has to initiate the connection after the connection is established anyone can send anything in any direction.
Actually, the initial seeder with a closed port can upload if someone else has an open port. Generally a lack of port forwarding means you can only connect to others who do have port forwarding.
