if you have TCP only and decentralized peers/peer exchange/local peers turned off in qbittorrent (a good security idea if you're using a VPN to torrent already), you'll get added security at the cost of less peers. Not to say that's for sure what's going on for you, but if you have sane settings for security, it could well be the cause of the discrepancy.
Thanks for the advice. It looks like I already have those settings turned on. Would you recommend I turn them off? I know it's gonna result in even fewer peers, and I haven't had any security issues over the past couple of years while it's been running, but is it something that needs to be done on servers like mine? (I have windscribe that I turn on along with qbittorrent, and when I turn it off, I turn them both off at the same time)
you dont need to turn them off.
