Have you set up port forwarding for qbittorrent?
No, I didn't know that was required. I've definitely seeded without forwarded ports though.
A lot of peers won't download from you if you don't, thus why it's hard to get to 1:1. You'll want a VPN that lets you setup port forwarding.
I use Deluge and to set that up I just needed to set "Incoming Port" to the port I'd setup forwarding for with my VPN.
Seeding will work without port forwarding however you'll miss seeding opportunities. If you don't have port forwarding you'll only be able to seed to other people who have it working.
