qBittorrent official forums

Is this an issue of qBt or just a feature as I'm unsure

When I start qBt the list of DHT starts between 50-70 then steadily reduces to 0 - is this behaviour normal?

Also the connection status icon is usually orange and rarely green, is there something i can do to keep it green?

At the first download when starting qB DHT nodes goes up and if you see your trackers tab you can actually see that DHT is being used, but when you remove or complete the torrent and add a new one (mostly) you will see that DHT stays at 0 (at the trackers tab). After a while the DHT nodes also goes lower till 0 at the bottom. I can confirm this weird behaivour.
