Just taking a guess: You could try lowering qBittorrent’s total connections and/or bandwidth to see if that helps? I wonder if Transmission is configured for a lower amount vs qBittorrent and somehow the VPN client can’t handle the traffic that qBittorrent pushes through. You could also experiment with disabling DHT & see if that helps with - DHT is very useful for public torrenting so disabling it is not ideal but it does generate extra connections.
You may get better answers in lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy there’s probably people with similar setups there that can offer better advice.

I did try lowering connections (started from 500/200/something/something, went down to 150/20/10/4, this is global max connections/max connections per torrent/max upload slots/max up slots per torrent) but it still kills the VPN. Transmission was left untouched and it currently has 200 peers overall and 50 peers per torrent. I disabled DHT, testing it! Thanks for the help, I’ll also try crossposting there, you never know!
