IIS logs filled with GET /announce - 127.0.0.1 tracker.dutchtracking.nl

I've been running Qbittorrent for around 5 years now, and have no problems with it. In fact it's so good I've been pushing people I know to use it over other torrent apps for all the features it provides.
I've never had problems until a few days ago, and I can't put my finger on the cause.
I run qbt on the same computer that runs Windows IIS, for which I have logging enabled for security and auditing reasons.
A few days ago the log files started to record repeated entries for GET /announce - 127.0.0.1 tracker.dutchtracking.nl.
I can tell it's to do with qbt as when I close the app and leave it closed, no new entries are made until the app reopens.
If it were a few or occasional, I could live with it. However it's nearly 3mb of txt log files every day, just with
2020-07-19 00:48:00 GET /announce - 127.0.0.1 tracker.dutchtracking.nl as an example.
It's gonna drive me mad at some point, so I wondered if anyone had any idea as to why this might have started occuring.
I've turned off "Always announce to all trackers in a tier" in case that was causing it, but couldn't see anything else with options for announce.
Any advice / ideas would be greatly appreciated.
