I wanted to do some soulseek, but just as I began moving towards that this happened. What VPN should I use for this ? I don't want to use any of those over advertised shady VPNs like nordvpn (who was a spamming machine on my PC back when I used it) or surfshark or others if not necessary...

you don't really have a high bandwidth so I am not surprised that it makes no difference. For me port forwarding is the difference between seeding at 16MB/s vs 3/4MB/s

Does it only take affect seeding? I'm behind NAT with no port forwarding and often download at 80-110 MB/s (megabytes, not megabits).

it should affect downloading as well. It increases the number of peers able to connect to you for data exchange in both directions
