The torrent list shows only 2 peers for a torrent that has a tracker with 8 (see screenshot). Why does this happen?
qBittorrent doesn't see all peers
Re: qBittorrent doesn't see all peers
Tracker sees 8 peers.
But the peers might not have any free upload slots left for example. They are just reporting to the tracker, that they have the file and they are "waiting". But it does not mean they are ready to seed OR they are connectable OR you are connectable, etc. There is a lot involved in peer-to-peer file sharing.

connected_peers (total_peers)
And total_peers must be at least 8 if there's a tracker with 8 peers. Otherwise, what's the meaning of the number in parentheses?

Look for "num_peers" and "num_seeds".
(The number is obtained from the libtorrent library, it is not handled by qbittorrent so to say.)
