You need it for file sharing apps like BitTorrent or Soulseek, if you don't want to be seen as a leech, and/or you want to use private trackers where you need to maintain a good ratio. :)
Then you can just use a seed box on top of your downloading
Why would you use a seedbox if you have a home server? The home server can be the seedbox. A lot of homelabbers would have a good enough connection for it.
Edit: Using a VPN with port forwarding, of course.
Most private trackers don't allow a shared VPN like Mullvad anyway. Some do but most don't.
Most private trackers don't allow you to browse the tracker site from a shared VPN, but I've never seen one that doesn't allow your torrent client to connect over one. That would make no sense.
