You can get one, but not for free.

These aren't "good" but are free

 "Hotspot Shield", with ads
 SecurityKiss with 300 MB/day

There is no such thing as a good free VPN.

You can have good, or free, but not both at the same time.

RiseupVPN beta if you are able to get an account is ok: https://help.riseup.net/en/vpn

proXPN http://www.proxpn.com/ still has free accounts, I've not used it recently though.

VPNSecure.me https://www.vpnsecure.me/ has a free ad-supported version now with limited servers.

None of them are really for torrents though.

There are no such thing as good and free VPN. VPN is for connecting securely to your LAN from remote place. VPN does not work for privacy or anonymity because all legit VPN providers have your billing info and are heavily logged and monitored.

For few mBTC I can download and seed any torrents with my 50MBps link and then you can grab them from my SFTP or SSH server sing encrypted connection. Interested?

That is 100% true. You have to pick one, or the other.

Check out the vpn section on my site - coinindex.org (http://coinindex.org) - all accept BTC, of course.

VPNs are so cheap, you can pay for them every month simply by renting your signature space on here.

They have proven time and time again that they're useless for anonymity.

VPN is proven to be useless for anonymity. It had some use in past when Tor was not developed and internet was not under such orwellian surveillance that logs every connection. You could hack some random computer then install VPN server on it and go farther into rabbit hole.

Now using VPN is asking for trouble. And using Hidemygoatse was how some Anon kid got raided by FBI. It is a money pump and nothing more. Sure it protects against your local ISP admin from masturbating over your web access logs but the masturbator now is VPN admin who probably logs even more data and now have possibility to uniquely identify computer making connection.
