Try this:
1. Enable DHT;
2. Options -> Advanced (enable "Resolve peer host names");
3. Restart.
Add a torrent with no trackers and tell us if this works.
It's been working for me lately (qBittorrent 3.2.0 + LibTorrent 1.0.4.0 + Boost 1.54.0). Even if DHT nodes reaches 0 (current seeded torrents stall), when I add a new magnet link with no trackers the DHT node number goes up and the metadata completes the download. When it doesn't (complete the metadata download), I click OK and try downloading it again. Either way it picks up.
